Case 1 Submitted by: Puay Hoon Tan - Clinical Summary: 55 year old Chinese female underwent an ultrasound guided core biopsy of a left breast lesion at the 0300-0400 location, radiologically described as an 'ill-defined, predominantly hypoechoic area approximately 7x6 mm with dense shadowing - possible malignancy'.

Jordi Rowe - Clinical Summary: A 44 year old woman underwent a mammogram for a palpable breast mass. In the right breast a mass is identified at 1 o'clock which corresponds to the palpable mass. In the left breast a mass is identified at 10 o'clock. No other masses or calcifications are seen in either breast. The patient underwent bilateral ultrasound guided needle core biopsies. The following images are representative of both masses. Case 2 - Figure 1 Case 2 - Figure 2 Case 2 - Figure 3 Case 2 - Figure 4 Case 2 - Figure 5 Estrogen receptor Case 3 Submitted by: Fernando Schmitt - Clinical History: 74-year old woman presented with a breast lump. No previous history of breast disease. Ultrasound and mammography were inconclusive. She was submitted a core-biopsy (Figures 1 to 4) and after the lesion was excised (Figures 5 to 9).

Sanders - Clinical Summary: The patient is a 56 year old female who is status post left lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy followed by radiation therapy for invasive breast cancer in 2003, who presented in 5/2010 with a 2 month history of left breast enlargement, hyperpigmentation and multiple hard, painful skin nodules. Mammography at that time revealed a non- palpable spiculated nodule in the right breast suspicious for carcinoma and a suspicious thickening/mass of the left breast parenchyma and skin involving the anterior, inferior and medial aspects. Clinically, the left breast was described as having a peau d' orange appearance. Bilateral core needle biopsies were performed. The right needle core biopsy revealed invasive mammary carcinoma, no special type (ductal), low combined histologic grade, low proliferative rate. The biopsy on the left was read as fat necrosis and considered non-diagnostic. The decision was made to proceed with an incisional biopsy of the left breast for definitive diagnosis.

Connolly - Clinical Summary: This is a biopsy of a breast mass in a 71 year old African American woman. The patient was in an automobile accident, with breast trauma, 8 months prior to the biopsy. Pertinent Laboratory Data: The lesional cells were positive for actin and vimentin and negative for keratin coctail(Ae1-Ae3 & Cam 5.2) Case 5 - Slide 1 Click to view with ImageScope Click to view with a Web-Based Viewer Handouts for all Specialty Conferences will be accessible via the "Educational Materials" section on the homepage the morning after each respective conference.
