Nonmass Enhancement. Long Wait for U/S

kareli

Hello! Have been lurking for a while. I am BRCA2 positive, 51 year old female, no kids. Mom survived breast cancer and died of uterine cancer 23 years after BC.

Have had normal mammograms for years at same imaging place. Had last mammogram this March. It was normal. But dense tissue.

Due to recent discovery I am BRCA2 Carrier was sent for MRI on June 19th. MRI results state:

Heterogeneous fibroglandular tissue bilaterally with mild background enhancement.

In the right inferior outer quadrant, 7 o'clock, approx 5.5 cm from the nipple, there is a linear area of nonmass enhancement, measuring 0.5-0.6 cm with predominantly plateau enhancement pattern on the CAD stream and mild progressive enhancement. On the corresponding T2 weighted images, there is a small focus of bright T2 signal within the area suggestive of a small component of cyst in this region. Otherwise, there is mild background enhancement with small scattered enhancing foci. No size significant axillary or internal mammary chain adenopathy.

Second look ultrasound was recommended. If negative, follow up MRI in 6 months to ensure stability.

Left breast had no suspicious areas of enhancement.

Any thoughts from the experts on how worried to be? I have second look u/s on July 29. LONG wait.

Thanks in advance. Great forum. 😊
