Case Discussion
The case only really makes sense if you add the ultrasound image. The image shows the two contiguous but distinct tumors visible on the mammogram image above.
Imaging of the contralateral breast is also indicated to get a baseline of the contralateral breast and to exclude a synchronous carcinoma on the contralateral side.
All three lesions are biopsy confirmed invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC).
