Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Diagnostic DBT is typically not performed as the initial imaging study in patients under the age of 30. DBT may be useful as a complementary imaging modality to evaluate unexplained axillary adenopathy in patients <30 years of age when suspicious sonographic findings are identified. Silicone within low axillary nodes may also be seen on DBT. Mammography Diagnostic Diagnostic mammography is typically not performed as the initial imaging study in patients under the age of 30. Diagnostic mammography may be useful as a complementary imaging modality to evaluate for unexplained axillary adenopathy in patients <30 years of age when suspicious sonographic findings are identified. Silicone within low axillary nodes may also be seen on diagnostic mammography. MRI Breast Without and With IV Contrast There is no relevant literature to support MRI without and with IV contrast as the initial imaging study in this setting. However, it is needed if biopsy shows axillary metastatic disease from a mammographically and sonographically occult primary breast carcinoma. MRI Breast Without IV Contrast There is no relevant literature to support MRI without IV contrast in evaluation of unexplained axillary adenopathy in patients <30 years of age because its primary function would be to identify silicone in the lymph nodes as an explanation for the adenopathy. Breast Implant Evaluation Variant 11: Adult 30 to 39 years of age. Female or transfeminine. Evaluation of unexplained axillary adenopathy. Silicone breast implants (current or prior). Initial imaging. Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Diagnostic DBT may help to evaluate unexplained axillary adenopathy in patients 30 to 39 years of age. Silicone within low axillary nodes may be seen on DBT. When DBT is performed, axillary US is complementary and may be performed at the same time. Mammography Diagnostic Diagnostic mammography may help to evaluate unexplained axillary adenopathy in patients 30 to 39 years of age.
