The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The incidental finding of a breast lesion on a computed tomography scan is Increasingly common at our institution. In the past 12 months, we have diagnosed 6 primary breast cancers-1 metastasis and 5 benign lesions-in this manner. We describe 4 cases illustrating a range of breast pathologies, benign and malignant, which have been detected by computed tomography scans. Accurate, prompt, triple assessment in a symptomatic breast clinic has proven essential to obtaining an eventual diagnosis in patients presenting via this slightly unusual route.
