Predicting Molecular Subtypes of Breast Cancer with Mammography and Ultrasound Findings: Introduction of Sono-Mammometry Score

Figure 2

CC and MLO views of left breast: biopsy-proven hormone receptor +ve tumor (grade II). (a) A high-density mass is seen in upper-outer quadrant extending to retroareolar region. Irregular spiculated margins are seen with secondary signs of architectural distortion and trabecular thickening. (b) Overlying skin shows thickening and dimpling. Clustered microcalcifications are also seen within the mass. We can also see large malignant looking nodal mass in ipsilateral axilla. (c) Ultrasound of the same patient: there is a hypoechoic mass with irregular spiculated margins. Dense posterior acoustic shadowing is also seen obscuring posterior extent of the mass. We can also appreciate antiparallel orientation and peripheral echogenic halo. Sono-mammometry score = 14.
