Summary:

Description	Radiopaedia case ID: 23840 Image ID: 4199872 Study findings: In 2011 the lesion is now both larger and poorly defined. What lesions do you know of that enlarge in post menopausal women and what would your primary concern be now ? Your primary concern would be that this patient who comes back has in fact a carcinoma of the left breast.? Modality: Mammography System: Breast Findings: Another in the series of "time lapse mammography" of the same patient to illustrate a teaching point. As with previous cases this only serves a purpose if you thoughtfully look at the individual images as presented before moving on. The small density centrally in the left breast is noted in 2009 and called "well defined well circumscribed and likely benign". Its called Birads II and follow up is suggested in one year. Are you happy with that? No you are not unless you have previous for comparison which in this case were not available. You may get away with tis in a premenopausal woman but in someone who is 62 you better be brave.
