Diagnosis

C50.9- Breast cancer– Patient presents to the clinic and alarmed by a painful lump in her right breast that she discovered while showering. The reported symptoms and signs noted on physical examination suggest findings of breast carcinoma which can be justified with a mammogram and other studies (Burstein, Lacchetti, & Griggs, 2016).

Differential Diagnoses–

N64.89- Galactocele– Patient presents to her clinic alarmed by a painful lump in her right breast that she discovered while showering (Burstein, Lacchetti, & Griggs, 2016).

N60.0- Breast cyst– The patient presents to her internist alarmed by a painful lump in her right breast. Tender breast lumps are a common presentation and could point out to a wide variety of diseases. As such, it is necessary to conduct a detailed history to come up with a detailed diagnosis. On the case of S.M, histology would be of great significance to come up with a definitive diagnosis. (Burstein, Lacchetti, & Griggs, 2016).

N64.4- Mastodynia- S.M shows sign and symptom of breast tenderness of unknown cause which requires further investigation.
