Invasive ductal carcinomaBy Markus HolzhauerHistory: 56 y old female with abdominal CT for abdominal pain Findings:
:: CT 2 ::CT demonstrates nodule left breast
:: X-Ray 1 ::Left CC view demonstrates mass in the retroareolar breast.
:: X-Ray 2 ::Left MLO view demonstrates mass in the retroareolar breast.
:: X-Ray 3 ::Previous left CC view is unremarkable.
:: X-Ray 4 ::Previous left MLO view is unremarkable.
:: Ultrasound 1 ::US demonstrates corresponding mass with lobulated and angulated shape and slightly irregular margin.
:: Fluoroscopy 1 ::bla Discussion: On every CT it makes sense to spend a few moments looking at the breast parenchyma. Same criterea as on mammogram apply to CT. Spiculated masses - focal asymmetries or microcalcifications should be correlated to mammography. Differential diagnosis: Benign masses ,such as fibroadenoma or papilloma.
