Article Synopsis
- Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare skin cancer affecting the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, and its exact cause remains unknown.
- The case study discusses an 18-year-old female with type 1 diabetes who discovered a lump in her left breast that had been present for six months, prompting further examination.
- After an ultrasound and biopsy confirmed DFSP, she underwent successful surgical excision with clear margins, emphasizing the need for thorough evaluation of unusual breast masses in young individuals.
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide and the most common cause of cancer death in women. The most common presentation of breast cancer is the presence of a palpable mass, whether noted by the patient during breast self-examination or noted during clinical breast examination. There are a variety of imaging modalities now available for the evaluation of a palpable abnormality.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of features described in the new sonographic BI-RADS lexicon for evaluating solid masses with known histologic diagnoses.
Materials And Methods: Sonograms of 403 solid lesions were analyzed by one of three dedicated breast radiologists. Each lesion was described using features from the sonographic BI-RADS lexicon.
