Summary

A 32-year-old primigravida at 16+1 weeks’ gestation is referred by her primary care provider to your high-risk obstetrics unit at a tertiary center for evaluation of a breast lump. Routine prenatal investigations, fetal sonography, and aneuploidy screening were normal. The patient does not have any obstetric complaints and takes only prenatal vitamins.
