Incidental detection of clinically unexpected breast lesions by computed tomography.

Conclusion: Unexpected breast lesions can be identified as a mass or non-mass-like lesion on conventional chest CT scans. Among these, breast cancers that are not clinically apparent occur with considerable prevalence. We suggest that careful interpretation of the breast should be a routine part of CT examinations.
