Radiological characteristics of invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast

CONCLUSION: The mammographic and ultrasound imaging features of IMPC are indistinguishable from other aggressive types of breast cancer. At contrast-enhanced mammography examination, pathological enhancement of moderate to marked conspicuity was shown in all cases. The observed strong association of IMPC with lymphovascular invasion and lymph node metastasis with higher nodal stage in this study mandate meticulous sonographic examination of the axilla, as well as the infra, and supraclavicular regions if pathological axillary lymphadenopathy was noted.PMID:37858400 | DOI:10.1016/j.crad.2023.09.010
