Palpable right axillary lymph node and palpable left breast mass. The patient had left breast ultrasound-guided core biopsy several months ago which was benign and concordant. She feels the area in her left breast is somewhat increased since biopsy. A targeted bilateral ultrasound was performed for the patient’s areas of concern. In the right axillary region, including at the site of patient concern, several normal morphology axillary lymph nodes are seen. The finding at the site of concern is equivocal for a lymph node, but in any case benign. It measures 6 x 5 mm. In the left breast 9:00 position, a hypoechoic mass with adjacent biopsy clip is noted. The mass measures 8 x 6 mm. As a hydromark clip was placed and is close to the skin surface, it is possible that the biopsy clip is also palpable.
