Presentation
Painful left breast lump
Patient Data
There is focal asymmetry seen in the mid-outer breast, without associated calcifications (site of patient's complaint).
The mammogram is otherwise unremarkable.
At the site of the patient's complaint, there is a cyst with internal debris and surrounding echogenic fat. No internal vascularity of solid component.
The feature suggests a complicated cyst; BI-RADS III for follow-up.
The previously mentioned findings are no longer seen.
Resolution of the focal asymmetry.
Case Discussion
The ultrasound findings suggested a complicated cyst without solid component or internal vascularity, thus assigned BI-RADS III.
The patient was informed about the findings and referred for appropriate treatment and follow-up.
After 1 month the patient's clinical symptoms resolved, and so did the ultrasonic and mammographic findings.
