The images presented were obtained in the context of a screening examination.


Ultrasound


Bilaterally ultrasound showed glandular tissue with macrocysts. No signs of malignancy in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast or elsewhere. US BI-RADS right 2/left 2.


Mammography


Extremely dense, asymmetric glandular texture (ACR type 4) with signs of tissue retraction in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast (architectural distortion, Fig. 98.4). Margins of a tumor could not be distinctly established. No microcalcifications. No further unusual findings. BI-RADS right 4/left 1. PGMI: CC view P; MLO view G (inframammary fold).


Procedure


Histological investigation (here by MR-guided vacuum core biopsy). Diagnostic MR mammography (Fig. 98.5).


Histology of the core biopsy (right breast)


Invasive ductal carcinoma G2 developed from a base of DCIS (high grade, without necrosis).
