Mammo shows bilateral axillary lymphadenopathy. Ddx?
Lymphoma
Leukemia
Lupus
Sarcoid

How do you manage a filling defect on ductogram or a mass in a cyst wall (give ddx on this)?
Surgical removal.

Ddx: Papilloma
Papillary carcinoma
Blood clot
Indication for ductogram

Differential for

mammo finding:

SPICULATED MASS
* Cancer
* Radial Scar, Biopsy Scar
* Fat necrosis, Sclerosing adenosis
* Abscess, Hematoma

* desmoid, granular cell tumor
Findings seen in implant rupture
Saline - implant collapses

Silicone-
1) intracapsular - US shows "stepladder", MRI shows "linguine sign"
2) extracapsular - high density on mammo if gel in tissue. Gel seen in LNs. U/S - snowstorm appearance.
The "classically" benign types of mammographic calcifications
"popcorn"
secretory
Skin calcs
Milk of calcium
Adenosis - rosettes
Breast lesion which shows shadowing on ultrasound. Ddx?
Fibroadenoma
Granular cell tumor
-
Radial scar
Surgical scar
-
Fibrosis
Fat necrosis
Sclerosing adenosis
-
Diabetic mastopachy
Normal breast tissue
Mammographic finding: well circumscribed mass. Which ones do you leave alone?
Intramammary LN
Fibroadenoma with typical calcs
Lipoma
Hamartoma
Mammographic finding: well circumscribed mass. Which ones are "low" prob for cancer?
simple cyst - done
complex cyst - MUST aspirate (medullary carcinoma often looks cystic)
solid mass
Unilateral inflammatory changes in breast (skin thickening, prominent trabecular markings). Management?
Rule out RTX, trauma, lymphatic obstruction.

Tx with abx for 2 weeks. Mastitis will resolve, inflammatory breast CA won't.
Breast lesion with fat in it
hamartoma
lipoma
galactocele
oil cyst
Breast mass with MACROlobulation
Phylloides
Fibroadenoma
Cyst
LN
Breast mass with ring-like peripheral calcium
Fibroadenoma
Calcified cyst
Oil cyst
Fat necrosis
Non-mass like enhancement on breast MRI
Clumped - DCIS, carcinoma, seroma (post-bx)
especially if segmental distr

Reticular/Dendritic - involution, inflammatory CA
Appearance of post-op seroma on MR
low on T1, with clumped enhancement extending to nipple
Ddx for unilateral prominence of trabeculae
Mastitis
Inflammatory CA
axillary mass
RTX
