 IMAGING FINDINGS:
Mediolateral oblique (MLO) and craniocaudal (CC) views of both breasts demonstrate an irregular mass in the subareolar left breast. There is associated nipple retraction. Corresponding ultrasound image shows a round mass with subtle spiculated margins. WHY IT MATTERS:

 IMAGING FINDINGS:
Mediolateral oblique (MLO) and craniocaudal (CC) views of the left breast demonstrate two round circumscribed masses in the upper outer quadrant posteriorly. Spot compression view confirms the finding. Ultrasound evaluation demonstrates two adjacent round hypoechoic masses. They do not have the characteristics of a lymph node. Biopsy revealed multifocal invasive ductal carcinoma. WHY IT MATTERS:

Standard craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) views demonstrate linear fine pleomorphic calcifications in the upper inner left breast. 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:

Standard craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique views of both breasts demonstrate a grouping of fine pleomorphic calcifications in the subareolar right breast. WHY IT MATTERS:

Craniocaudal (CC) views from two consecutive years demonstrate calcifications centrally. The calcifications are identical in morphology and distribution, known as the tattoo sign. WHY IT MATTERS:
Distinguishing Breast Skin Lesions from Superficial Breast Parenchymal Lesions: Diagnostic Criteria, Imaging Characteristics, and Pitfalls (RadioGraphics 2011)  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:
FURTHER READING: Mucinous Carcinoma of the Breast: MRI Features of Pure and Mixed Forms with Histopathologic Correlation (AJR 2009)  IMAGING FINDINGS:
Standard Mediolateral Oblique (MLO) views demonstrate an asymmetrically enlarged lymph node in the left axilla. No abnormality is identified in either breast. Sonographic evaluation of the left axilla demonstrates an abnormal enlarged lymph node with a thickened cortex. The patient reports that she had a COVID vaccination in the left arm two weeks ago.
