MULTICENTRIC BREAST CANCER
PATIENT BACKGROUND
70-79 yo woman with palpable lump in the right breast
Previous mammography had depicted a single mass only.
On sonography, the lesion was also round and circumscribed with cystic and solid components. Several other hypoechogenoic lesions with smooth and irregular margins were detected.
Breast CT scan was performed to confirm the suspicion for multicentric breast cancer.
Imaging details
Pre-contrast: Round mass lesion with hypodense (necrotic/liquid) centre. Images are suspicious for more than one lesion.
Post-contrast: The palpable mass enhances the contrast material inhomogeneously. Several other contrast enhancing masses with irregular and smooth margins in more than one quadrant of the breast are delineated.
Assessment: BI-RADS 5
