Subjective
41-year-old female who presents today for a well-woman examination and to discuss risks for breast
cancer.
History of Present Illness
Carolynn Cross is a 41-year-old G2P2 female of Hispanic descent who presents to the clinic for a well-
woman examination after her mother, age 63, and first cousin, age 44, were both recently diagnosed
with intraductal breast cancer. She currently does not have any symptoms/complaints and is an overall
healthy state. Patient has a history of fibrocystic breast changes, reports “lumpy” breasts for long as she
can remember and performs self-breast examinations which have not revealed any new findings. She
began menses at age 10.5, her cycle is 25-26 days without any bleeding in between, but endorses breast
tenderness around menstruation, and the last period was two weeks ago. Both her pregnancies and
deliveries were normal, with a tubal ligation after her last delivery at 35-years-old. Her previous
gynecological exam was 3 years ago and normal and she has no history of sexually transmitted diseases.
Patient’s first mammogram 18 months ago at age 40 showed no changes, and all pap smears have been
normal. She is currently concerned about her risk for breast cancer after two of her first-degree relatives
have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
