Solitary sternal focus with FDG activity found on PET scan after treatment for recurrent breast cancer
A 36-year-old woman originally presented in January 2007 with a palpable mass. She underwent bilateral mammogram and left breast ultrasound that revealed a 1.6 cm mass and a 0.8 cm left axillary lymph node. A subsequent ultrasound guided core biopsy of the left breast mass and an aspiration of the left axillary lymph node revealed invasive ductal carcinoma with the metastatic involvement of the left axillary lymph node.
62-year-old man with a right breast mass
A 62-year-old man with a breast mass underwent mammography. A right breast mass measuring 3.5 × 2.5 cm was noted behind the retracted right nipple. Multiple pleomorphic calcifications were also noted, and these findings were confirmed on sonography, which confirmed a 2.9 cm poorly marginated lobulated solid mass that was extremely suspicious for carcinoma. Biopsy was recommended, but the patient was lost to the follow-up.
