 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:
FURTHER READING: Radial Scars/Complex Sclerosing Lesions of the Breast: Radiologic and Clinicopathologic Correlation (BMC Medical Imaging 2018)  IMAGING FINDINGS:
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:
FURTHER READING: ACR BI-RADS® Atlas Fifth Edition QUICK REFERENCE  IMAGING FINDINGS:
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:
ACR BI-RADS® Atlas Fifth Edition QUICK REFERENCE  IMAGING FINDINGS:
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.

FURTHER READING: Unilateral axillary Adenopathy in the setting of COVID-19 vaccine (Elsevier 2021)  IMAGING FINDINGS:
Standard Craniocaudal (CC) view of the right breast shows an irregular hyperdense mass with spiculated margins in the medial aspect of the breast. Architectural distortion is present in the lateral right breast due to prior lumpectomy. Corresponding ultrasound image demonstrates an irregular hypoechoic mass with posterior acoustic shadowing in the medial breast. WHY IT MATTERS:
Mammary Fibromatosis (AJR 2009)  IMAGING FINDINGS:
Standard Craniocaudal (CC) and Mediolateral Oblique (MLO) views of the left breast show a breast composed almost entirely of fat. There is an implanted cardiac device (loop recorder) present within the medial left breast. WHY IT MATTERS:
Radiographic Review of Current Therapeutic and Monitoring Devices in the Chest (RadioGraphics 2018)  IMAGING FINDINGS:
Standard craniocaudal and mediolateral oblique views of both breasts demonstrate a focal asymmetry in the upper outer left breast. There is suggestion of associated architectural distortion. WHY IT MATTERS:
