Moderately fibroglandular breast parenchyma.
In the upper outer quadrant of the right breast there is a discrete region of architectural distortion (5cm diameter) with multiple, scattered pleomorphic micro-calcifications visible. This corresponds to the clinical palpable mass. Axillary nodes are noted on the mammogram, but have a benign appearance.
The left breast is unremarkable.
Case Discussion
This is an example of a biopsy proven DCIS.
