Another strange case. There are multiple findings in the breasts in this sonographic study.
Both breasts showed prominent mammary ducts. Without proper history, the sonographic appearances are bizarre 😳 to say the least 🙄.
The reason for dilated mammary ducts is:
She's lactating.
2nd finding:
The above ultrasound image showed what looked like a hypoechoic mass. But it's pretty much posteriorly placed. Also rotate the transducer. It's elongated.
Answer: it's a costal cartilage. A normal finding.
3rd finding: this is not normal 😐:
The ultrasound images above show an anechoic mass lesion and it's pretty large.
A large simple cyst.
Here's another ultrasound image:
A simple cyst is no big deal. So long as it doesn't get complicated with hemorrhagic changes or infection 😕. Now infection can cause a breast abscess.
The prominent mammary ducts are also seen to the right of the ultrasound image.
4th finding:
A moderately large mass, but this one is hypoechoic and not anechoic. That means it is a solid mass. It's oval and well defined.
Non vascular. These are typical of only one lesion: fibroadenoma breast 🙄.
Final diagnosis:
Fibroadenoma breast with breast cyst in lactating breasts.
