IMAGING FINDINGS:
Craniocaudal (CC) and Mediolateral Oblique (MLO) views of the right breast demonstrate an area of architectural distortion medially. Spot compression view confirms persistence of architectural distortion. WHY IT MATTERS:

Standard craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique views of the right breast demonstrate a subcentimeter mass in the lateral right breast. Spot magnification view of the high density mass shows suspicious microlobulated margins. WHY IT MATTERS:

Sonographic image demonstrates an irregular hypoechoic mass with angular margins. Microcalcifications are present within the mass. WHY IT MATTERS:
Sonographically Guided Biopsy of Suspicious Microcalcifications of the Breast: A Pilot Study (AJR 2002) IMAGING FINDINGS:
Standard Craniocaudal (CC) and Mediolateral Oblique (MLO) views of the right breast demonstrate an isodense, oval mass in the lower inner quadrant. The mass has primarily circumscribed margins, but is a new finding compared to prior exams. WHY IT MATTERS:
