Question
Answer
A lesion located in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast is located in the   10-0'clock position  
🗑
Morgagni tubercles are usually found   on the skin of the areola  
🗑
An inverted nipple   sometimes indicates breast cancer  
🗑
Compression of the breast is most effective and most comfortable when applied against the   inferior and lateral aspects  
🗑
The normal breast may have   15-20 lobes  
🗑
The structure that gives the breast its support and shape is called   Coopers ligament  
🗑
The breast extends vertically from the   second through the sixth rib  
🗑
The thickest portion of the breast is the   tail of Spence  
🗑
Cooper ligaments attach anteriorly to the   fascia of the skin  
🗑
Fatty tissur is generally __and on the mammogram is seen as areas of __ optical density.   radiolucent/higher  
🗑
Typically, a patient with dense fibrous and glandular tissue throughout the entire breast on a baseline mammogram is   below 45  
🗑
Glandular tissue is usually found in the __ of the breast.   central and upper outer quadrant  
🗑
Lymph drainage from the medial half of the breast is generally directed to the   internal mammary lymph nodes  
🗑
Immediately behind the nipple, the connecting duct widens to form the   lactiferous sinus  
🗑
The portion of the breast that holds the milk-producing element is the   lobule  
🗑
Veins are normally located   in the periphery of the breast  
🗑
The TDLU consists of the   both the ETDs and the ITDs  
🗑
A patient began taking synthetic hormones 6 months prior to her current mammogram. The mammogram is most likely to   show increased glandular tissue compared to her previous mammogram  
🗑
A baseline mammogram shows that the patient's breast consists primarily of adipose tissue. This patient is most likely to be   above 60  
🗑
A patient is to have a routine baseline mammogram, but it is determined that the woman is lactating. What should be done and why?   Lactation causes increased glandularity; the mammogram should be postponed.  
🗑
The craniocaudad mammograms of the same woman prior to menopause and 1 year after the onset of menopause are compared. The woman has never taken synthetic hormones. What is the most likely difference?   The mammogram taken after the onset of menopause shows signs of atrophy  
🗑
Which of the following will affect the ratio of glandular tissue to total breast tissue?   -the woman's genetic predisposition -ratio of total body adipose tissue to total body weight -drastic weight gain or weight loss  
🗑
Hormone replacement therapy could be recommended to?   -relieve insomnia symptoms -prevent osteoporosis  
🗑
A woman is referred to as nullipara. This means   she has never given birth to a viable offspring  
🗑
An asymptomatic patient presents with an oval, lobulated tumor with unsharp margins. There is no evidence of a halo sign.   The lesion could be malignant  
🗑
Characteristics of a malignant stellate tumor include which of the following?   -the presence of a central tumor mass. -the larger the tumor,the longer the spicules.  
🗑
The radial scar or sclerosing duct hyperplasia   -can sometimes be mistaken for carcinoma -is usually not associated with skin thickening of dimpling over the lesion  
🗑
A mammogram shows a low-density radiopaque tumor. It is oval, lobulated, and a halo is seen along one border only. The next step should be   ultrasound  
🗑
A galactocele   is associated with nursing  
🗑
A lipoma   can be a huge encapsulated lesion occupying the entire breast  
🗑
A rare form of cancer that presents with swelling, warmth, or erythema and mammographically with skin thickening is   inflammatory carcinoma  
🗑
Sometimes described as an oil cyst, this lesion represents an encapsulated area on the mammogram and can be caused by surgery, biopsy,trauma, or radiation therapy.   fat necrosis  
🗑
A benign self-limiting breast tumor that is the result of new disorganized cell growth   hamartoma  
🗑
An infusa-port can be used to   allow repeated access to the venous system  
🗑
The right craniocaudal (RCC) of the routine imaging series showed a small, irregular shaped lesion at the edge of the image plus scattered calcifications including calcification clusters. The next immediate step would be   -spot compression including magnification -additional imaging to include the margins of the lesion  
🗑
