Case History

  • The patient is a 32 years old female normotensive, non diabetic, para 2, presented with chief complaints of lump in her right breast 15 days back on March 8 2020
  • No history of nipple discharge was present.
  • History of loss of weight was present.
  • FNAC was done on 4th march 2020 which revealed Proliferative breast disease with mild or moderate atypia.
  • She does not have any family history of carcinoma breast/ovary.
  • She underwent right breast lumpectomy on 9th March 2020, which was done under general anaesthesia in which large lump of 3cmx3cm was dissected.
  • HPE (S -2512/20) shows Invasive ductal carcinoma (Block review of lung)
  • FNAC (C- 3403/20) Consistent with duct carcinoma was investigated further.
  • Mammogram breast was done on 06/04/2020 which shows evidence of multiple clusters of regional premorphic calcifications in upper outer quadrant of right breast.
  • Increased density seen in right breast lower outer quadrant with mild orchitural distortion.
  • Hence BIRADS VI was classified.
  • PET CT scan was done on 19/03/2020 which shows Mildly metabolically active irregular hypodense area in upper inner quadrant of right breast. Mild nodularity in the lower outer quadrant of right breast.
  • MRI Breast was done on 06/04/2020 shows Enhancing irregular mass measuring 1.2 x 0.6 x 1.2 cm in its largest dimensions showing heterogenous enhancement non mass enhancement anteriorly,
  • A subcentimeter mucinous cyst at 1’o clock axis mid depth - BIRADS V and lower inner BIRADS V.
  • USG breast was also done on 06/04/2020 which reveals Ill defined hyperechoic region suggestive of post operative changes measuring 4.4 cm x 1.8 cm at 1’o clock position, 9 cm from nipple.
  • IAlso ill defined focus of dense glandular parenchyma with microcalcification measuring 1.9 cm x 0.8 cm.
  • Hence BIRADS VI was classified.
  • Dumble shaped cyst with tiny microcalcification is seen in right breast 11-12’o clock position. BIRADS IV
  • Patient then underwent Right MRM + Right LD flap reconstruction.
  • She was then discharged and received 6 cycles of TCH and 12 cycles of H protocol.
  • Further she developed recurrent disease with lung metastasis,
  • Repeat biopsy was suggestive of ER-ve, PR-ve, Her2 3+ve
  • Post 3 cycles of chemotherapy there was marginal increase in lung lesion therefore plan was to give 2 more cycles and then repeat PET CT scan.
  • Post 5 cycles, PET CT suggestive of progressive disease.
  • Now plan of treatment changed to Eleftha + Vinorelbine + Lapatinib.
  • Post 3 cycles, PET CT suggestive of good response in lungs but with New Brain Lesion.
  • She received WBRT for Brain mets.
  • Post 6 cycles she had again progression in lungs.
  • Now started on Capecitabine with Eleftha.
  • PET CT scan was done on 18/08/2023 is suggestive of “Complete Metabolic Response” to the treatment
  • Comparision of Initial and recent PET CT scan is as follows.
