Abscess | Abscess | An area within the body tissue that is swollen and contains an accumulation of pus. Valid for the following modalities: MG US MRI. |
Angiolipoma | Angiolipoma | Angiolipoma is a rare type of lipoma - a growth made of fat and blood vessels that develops under the skin. Unlike other types of lipomas, angiolipomas are often painful or tender. [https://www.healthline.com/health/angiolipoma] Valid for the following modalities: US MRI. |
ApocrineMetaplasia | Apocrine metaplasia | A benign condition; Apocrine Metaplasia refers to a particular type of cell change. This is a type of 'umbrella term' that relates to a variety of cystic breast disorders. The epithelial cells are undergoing an unexpected change. These breast changes may show on a mammogram and biopsy as a mass or benign lesion, or possibly even develop into a palpable mass. [https://breast-cancer.ca/apo-meta/] Valid for the following modalities: US. |
Artifact | Artifact | X-ray artifacts can present in a variety of ways including abnormal shadows noted on a radiograph or degraded image quality, and have been produced by artificial means from hardware failure, operator error and software (post-processing) artifacts. There are common and distinct artifacts for film, computed (CR) and digital radiography (DR). Common causes are improper handling of the films errors while processing the films patient movement while taking the image.

AtypicalHyperplasia | Atypical hyperplasia | Atypical hyperplasia is a precancerous condition that affects cells in the breast. Atypical hyperplasia describes an accumulation of abnormal cells in the breast. Atypical hyperplasia isn't cancer, but it can be a forerunner to the development of breast cancer. Over the course of the lifetime, if the atypical hyperplasia cells keep dividing and become more abnormal, this can transition into noninvasive breast cancer (carcinoma in situ) or invasive breast cancer.

AxillaryLymphNode | Axillary lymph node | Axillary lymph nodes are the lymph nodes located in the armpits. They can become enlarged in many conditions including infections, lymphomas, and breast cancers. Lymph nodes are small structures located all over the body around blood vessels that act as filters and can accumulate germs or cancer cells. They are a part of the lymph system of the body.

Carcinoma | Carcinoma | Carcinoma is a type of cancer that starts in cells that make up the skin or the tissue lining organs. Valid for the following modalities: MG US MRI NM. |
CarcinomaKnown | Carcinoma known | Imaging tests used in diagnosing cancer may include a computerized tomography (CT) scan, bone scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), (PET) scan, ultrasound and X-ray, among others. In most cases, a biopsy is the only way to definitively diagnose cancer. Most breast cancers are carcinomas, which are tumors that start in the epithelial cells that line organs and tissues throughout the body. When carcinomas form in the breast, they are usually a more specific type called adenocarcinoma, which starts in cells in the ducts (the milk ducts) or the lobules (milk-producing glands). www.mayoclinic.org > cancer > diagnosis-treatment > drc-20370594 Valid for the following modalities: MG US MRI. |

PhyllodesTumor | Phyllodes tumor | Phyllodes tumors of the breast are rare, accounting for less than 1% of all breast tumors. The name "phyllodes," which is taken from the Greek language and means "leaflike," refers to that fact that the tumor cells grow in a leaflike pattern. Other names for these tumors are phylloides tumor and cystosarcoma phyllodes. Phyllodes tumors tend to grow quickly, but they rarely spread outside the breast. Although most phyllodes tumors are benign (not cancerous), some are malignant (cancerous) and some are borderline (in between noncancerous and cancerous). All three kinds of phyllodes tumors tend to grow quickly, and they require surgery to reduce the risk of a phyllodes tumor coming back in the breast (local recurrence).

PostLumpectomyScar | Post lumpectomy scar | This is scarring that occurs from the lumpectomy site. It can include nerve pain or numbness if scar tissue forms around nerves. A lump of scar tissue forms in the hole left after breast tissue is removed. If scar tissue forms around a stitch from surgery it's called a suture granuloma and also feels like a lump. Changes in breast appearance. Scar tissue and fluid retention can make breast tissue appear a little firmer or rounder than before surgery and/or radiation. [https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/side_effects/scar_tissue] Valid for the following modalities: MG. |

Radiation may come from a machine outside the body (external-beam radiation therapy), or it may come from radioactive material placed in the body near cancer cells (internal radiation therapy or brachytherapy). Systemic radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance, such as a radiolabeled monoclonal antibody, that travels in the blood to tissues throughout the body.

CarcinomaKnown | Carcinoma known | Imaging tests used in diagnosing cancer may include a computerized tomography (CT) scan, bone scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), (PET) scan, ultrasound and X-ray, among others. In most cases, a biopsy is the only way to definitively diagnose cancer.

When carcinomas form in the breast, they are usually a more specific type called adenocarcinoma, which starts in cells in the ducts (the milk ducts) or the lobules (milk-producing glands). www.mayoclinic.org > cancer > diagnosis-treatment > drc-20370594 Valid for the following modalities: MG US MRI. |
