The purpose of this exhibit is: To review the BIRADS definitions for mammographic asymmetry (one-view) and focal asymmetry (two view) with illustrative examples To review the various etiologies of developing mammographic asymmetries To outline a protocol for comprehensive diagnostic mammographic evaluation for developing asymmetries To discuss the role and limitations of correlative ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and digital breast tomosynthesis in the assessment and management of developing asymmetries

Review and illustrate the BIRADS definition of mammographic “asymmetry” and “focal asymmetry” Outline the various etiologies of mammographic asymmetries – benign and malignant Discuss the diagnostic work up of developing one or two view asymmetries, including appropriate and inappropriate utilization of targeted breast US, digital breast tomosynthesis, and diagnostic breast MRI in assessment and management Illustrate examples of mammographic developing asymmetries with multi-modality imaging and histopathologic correlation Discuss the potential for delayed diagnosis because of negative correlative US
