Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Summary

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare breast condition. Familiarity with its imaging is crucial for radiologists, as diagnosis often relies on breast biopsy and imaging characteristics.

Area of Science:

Histiocytosis
Oncology
Radiology

Background:

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
It primarily affects lymph nodes but can occur in extranodal sites, including the breast.
Literature on RDD's breast imaging presentation is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the imaging presentation of Rosai-Dorfman disease in the breast.
To highlight the importance of recognizing RDD in breast imaging.
To inform radiologists about diagnostic and management considerations.

Main Methods:

Review of existing literature on RDD in the breast.
Analysis of mammographic and ultrasound imaging characteristics.
Discussion of treatment approaches and multidisciplinary care.

Main Results:

RDD in the breast often presents as a palpable mass (two-thirds) or is found on screening mammography (one-third).
Mammographically, RDD typically appears as oval masses with indistinct margins.
Ultrasound findings usually involve irregular masses with indistinct margins.

Conclusions:

Breast imaging radiologists must be aware of RDD's imaging features for potential early diagnosis via biopsy.
Treatment is tailored to extent, with many cases resolving spontaneously or managed conservatively.
Multidisciplinary consultation is vital for optimal management of RDD involving the breast.
