Unusual presentation of tubular breast carcinoma as non-mass enhancement

Publication date: Available online 3 April 2018 Source:The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine Author(s): Hale Aydin, Bahar Guner, Isil Esen Bostanci, Zehra Sumru Cosar, Fatma Tuba Kiziltepe, Bilgin Kadri Aribas, Nazan Bozdogan A tubular carcinoma is a rare and well-differentiated histological subtype of invasive ductal carcinoma. Its lesion is generally presented as a spiculated, solid mass on mammography, ultrasonography (US), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with posterior acoustic shadowing on US. Here, we describe unusual MRI findings of focal-type clumped non-mass enhancement and type 2 kinetic curve. This tumour should be included as a differential diagnosis with focal-type clumped non-mass enhancement on MRI, because this finding can refer benign lesions like as fibrocystic changes of breast.
