Q

Interventional breast procedures Under sonographic guidance

A

needle guidance in an attempt to aspirate fluid, which would be diagnostic of a complex cystused to guide a fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), abscess or seroma drainage and large-core needle biopsy (for tissue diagnosis)

Q

Lipoma- fatty tumor-benignSonographic Findings

A

Typically smooth wallsHypoechoic similar to breast fatPosterior acoustic enhancementEasily compressible

20
Q

Fat Necrosis- benign

A

Caused by trauma, surgery, radiation treatment, mastitisSpherical nodule, superficial under layer of calcified necrosis

21
Q

Fat Necrosis- benignSonographic Findings

A

IrregularComplex low-level echosMay mimic malignant massAcoustic shadowing may or may not be present

22
Q

Abscess-benign

A

PainSwellingFebrileEnlarged axillary nodes

23
Q

Abscess-benign

A

ComplexDiffuse increased echogenicity of the breast (if mastitis)Hyperemia with color and or/ power Doppler

24
Q

Papillomas -benign

A

arise from lining of breast ducts, retroareolar area most common Bloody discharge from single duct

25
Q

Papillomas -benignSonographic Findings

A

Tiny papilloma may not be detectedMay cause dilatation of a single duct

26
Q

Papillomas -benignIntracystic papillomas

A

soft tissue mass growing into lumen of cystic lesion

27
Q

Sebaceous cysts-benign

A

obstruction of sebaceous gland or hair follicle within dermal layer of skin

28
Q

Sebaceous cysts-benign Sonographic Findings

A

Rounded, well defined mass with low to medium level echogenicityWall calcification possible

29
Q

Phyllodes- benign/malignant

A

borderline or transitional form between benign and malignant tumorCan grow quite largeDevelop in women between ages 40-60

30
Q

Phyllodes- benign/malignantSonographic Findings

A

Well-defined, lobulated solid mass with possible internal cystic spaces

31
Q

Solid mass - malignant

A

Ductal non-invasive carcinoma in-situ (DCIS)Lobular carcinoma-in situ (LCIS)Invasive ductal carcinoma in-situ (IDC)Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC)MedullaryColloid /MucinousPapillary

32
Q

Ductal carcinoma in-situ

A

most common non-invasive carcinomaAsymptomatic, palpable mass, nipple discharge

33
Q

Ductal carcinoma in-situMammography findings

A

microcalcifications

34
Q

Ductal carcinoma in-situSonographic findings

A

intraductal massmicrocalcifications irregular ductal dilatationarchitectural distortion

35
Q

Lobular carcinoma in-situ (LCIS)

A

generally affects premenopausal womendistinct tumor not a feature

36
Q

Lobular carcinoma in-situ (LCIS)Sonographic Appearance

A

bilateral, multicentricmimics fibrocystic disease

37
Q

Invasive ductal carcinoma-IDC

A

Most common malignancyHard fixed massSkin dimpling or skin/nipple retraction

38
Q

Invasive ductal carcinoma-IDCMammography findings

A

Asymmetric Radiopaque speculated mass Microcalcifications Thickened and retracted Cooper’s ligament

39
Q

Invasive ductal carcinoma-IDCSonographic findings

A

Solid massHypoechoicHeterogeneousTaller than wide orientationDistal acoustic shadowingPossible- microlobulations, microcalcification, ductal extension branch pattern, fascial plane disruption

40
Q

Invasive lobular carcinoma-(ILC)

A

Mammography can underestimate the extent

41
Q

Invasive lobular carcinoma-(ILC)Sonographic Findings

A

Possible speculated mass mimicking invasive ductal carcinomaArchitectural distortion

42
Q

Medullary

A

Circumscribed, non-tender, often large palpable massMay be mildly compressible and movableOften located in peripheral breastLow incidence of lymph node involvement Prevalence in younger females

43
Q

Medullary Sonographic findings

A

Solid hypoechoic mass; round, oval, or lobulated shapeCircumscribed margins; surface irregularities possibleHomogeneous/mildly heterogeneousAcoustic enhancement Hemorrhage or cystic degeneration may be noted

44
Q

Colloid/MucinousSonographic Findings

A

Well-defined marginsHypoechoic or isoechoic to fatHomogeneousPossible microlobulations

45
Q

Papillary

A

Subareolar palpable massMay protrude and effect skinMay cause skin dimpling and retractionPossible bloody nipple dischargeMimics non-invasive papillary carcinoma or papilloma

46
Q

Breast implants

A

Can be challenging to scan Can be even more challenging to biopsy
