There is an irregular, hyperdense mass with spiculated margins in the upper central part of the left breast.
Left-sided dense axillary lymphadenopathy.
Case Discussion
A BI-RADS 5 lesion has the typical imaging features of breast malignancy. On a mammogram, any two of the following features are demonstrated:
- spiculated or irregular mass
- high density
- fine linear or linear branching segmental calcifications
Nipple retraction, skin thickening, and evidence of interval growth, if present, would support the diagnosis.
