| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| BI-RADS category 1 | negative |
| BI-RADS category 2 | benign finding |
| BI-RADS category 3 | probably benign finding- short interval follow-up suggested |
| BI-RADS category 4 | suspicious abnormality- biopsy should be considered |
| BI-RADS category 5 | highly suggestive of malignancy- appropriate action should be taken |
| BI-RADS category 6 | known biopsy-proven malignant ~ the patient has had prior positive biopsy |
| BI-RADS ACRONYM | BREAST IMAGING REPORTING and DATA SYSTEM |
| BI-RADS category 0 | incomplete- needs additional imaging information and/or priors for comparison |
| Anasarca | Severe, generalized, and massive Edema |
| Asymmetry | the presence of glandular tissue in one portion of the breast that isn't in similar portion of other breast |
| Focal Asymmetric lesion | limited to small area of asymmetric fibroglandular tissue seen on CC and MLO |
| Global Asymmetry | covers larger portion of breast, typically more than one quadrant |
| Adenosis (tumoral adenosis) | enlargement of breast lobules, which contain more glands than usual |
| Sclerosing adenosis | enlarged lobules are distorted by scar-like fibrous tissue |
| Abscess of the breast | More common in lactating breast. Can be red, hot, and painful mass, U/S helps determine if drainable |
| Connective Tissue Disease | Any disease of the connective tissue and often includes an autoimmune and/or inflammatory component. (common- rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis) |
| Cysts | Occur in the TDLUs when the extralobular terminal duct becomes blocked. Fluid accumulates faster than it can be reabsorbed. Vary in size and respond to hormonal fluctuations. |
| Tense Cysts | round shaped cyst |
| Lax Cysts | Can be any shape depending on the compression applied |
| Cytology | refers to the study of cells, including their formation, origin, structure, function, biochemical activity, and pathologic characteristics. |
| TDLU | Terminal ductal lobular units |
| Duct Ectasia | blocked duct causes area around nipple to become red and tender, causing a thick, green, black, or sticky discharge. (commonly found in women in their 40s/50s) |
| galactocele | |
| fibroadenoma | |
| lipoma | |
| hamartomo | |
| papilloma | |
| hematoma | |
| inflammation | |
| fat necrosis | |
| lymph nodes | |
| gynecomastia | |
