Presentation
Left breast painful palpable mass on physical exam. No familial history of breast cancer.
Patient Data
The left breast is heterogeneously dense, which may obscure small masses. (breast composition type C)
A large oval-shaped mass with a partially obscured and slightly lobulated margin is noted in the medial central part of the left breast.
A targeted ultrasound evaluation of the large left breast mass shows a thick-walled cystic lesion without a solid component which is probably benign. (BI-RADS 3)
Case Discussion
Regarding the size of the cystic lesion and associated pain, ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration was performed for the patient as a palliative treatment. Follow-up ultrasonography and annual screening mammography were also recommended
