Clinical assessments of the breasts adhere to the principle of triple assessment. In most general practice settings this is limited to clinical examination and imaging. Imaging guidelines are adhered according to Ministry of Health. However we are all aware that occasionally patients’ presentation deviate from the norm. Hence it is important to be mindful and weary of these possibilities. The patient knows her/his body best.
History taking still plays paramount importance and our management plans stems from this crucial part and determines the evaluation pathway.
I have put up a series of cases which highlight some of these possible pitfalls in the evaluation of breast cancer.
