CC mammographic view

Case contributed by: Dr Garth Kruger

Presentation:

Routine screening mammogram. Right cc view

Patient Data:

Gender: Female

From the case: CC mammographic view

Review the precpectoral fat on this view. Train your eye to consciously make sure there are no mass lesions in the fat behind tyhe glandular disc, Note the small spiculated density in the "milky way", a small IDC.

This is one of the reasons comparison with the contralateral view is done as well as comparison with previous. This is an obvious overstated case just for illustration; smaller less obvious lesions can also be found on careful obsevation of this area. Watch out the lesion may or may not be visible on the MLO view.
