Primary breast osteosarcoma is a rare malignancy, with mostly case reports in the literature. The appearance of breast osteosarcoma on digital breast tomosynthesis imaging has not yet been described. A 69-year-old woman presents for routine screening mammography and is found to have a calcified mass in her right breast. Pattern of calcification appeared "sunburst" on digital breast tomosynthesis images. This mass was larger than on the previous year's mammogram, at which time it had been interpreted as a benign calcified fibroadenoma. The subsequent workup demonstrated the mass to reflect primary breast osteosarcoma. The patient's workup and treatment are detailed in this case. Primary breast osteosarcoma, although rare, should be included as a diagnostic consideration for breast masses with a sunburst pattern of calcifications, particularly when the mammographic appearance has changed.
原发性乳腺骨肉瘤是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,文献中大多为病例报告。乳腺骨肉瘤在数字乳腺断层合成成像上的表现尚未见描述。一名69岁女性因常规乳腺钼靶筛查就诊,发现右乳有一钙化肿块。在数字乳腺断层合成图像上,钙化形态呈“日光放射状”。该肿块较前一年的乳腺钼靶检查时增大,当时被诊断为良性钙化纤维腺瘤。后续检查证实该肿块为原发性乳腺骨肉瘤。本病例详细介绍了患者的检查及治疗过程。原发性乳腺骨肉瘤虽然罕见,但对于具有日光放射状钙化形态的乳腺肿块,尤其是乳腺钼靶表现有变化时,应将其纳入诊断考虑范围。
