This case report follows a 42-year-old female patient who underwent a routine screening mammogram. The patient was found to have a 50 mm benign subareolar mass in the right breast. However, because benign imaging findings do not preclude malignancy, the patient was recommended to undergo a biopsy for confirmation. Subsequent imaging and core needle biopsy established a benign lesion consistent with stromal fibrosis with underlying fibroadenomatous changes. The benign imaging and histological findings of the breast mass were concordant. The patient was recommended yearly mammograms and continued observation. This case report highlights the importance of radiopathological concordance in patients found to have benign imaging findings on screening mammograms.
本病例报告的患者为一名42岁女性,她接受了常规乳腺钼靶筛查。该患者右乳乳晕下发现一个50毫米的良性肿块。然而,由于良性影像学表现不能排除恶性可能,因此建议患者进行活检以明确诊断。随后的影像学检查和粗针活检确定为良性病变,符合间质纤维化并伴有潜在纤维腺瘤样改变。乳腺肿块的良性影像学和组织学检查结果一致。建议该患者每年进行乳腺钼靶检查并持续观察。本病例报告强调了在乳腺钼靶筛查中发现良性影像学表现的患者中,放射病理学一致性的重要性。
