However, the literature reports that the mammography can be negative in 22%–50% of patients. As underlying carcinoma is common even in women with a benign mammogram and no palpable mass, the breast US and MRI may be useful in detecting the lesion.

Overview

Other Imaging Findings

Mammogram

Recommended tests are a mammogram and a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis, and cytology may also be helpful. In clinical suspicion, mammography can help to detect the underlying malignancy. Mammography findings include:[1]

  • Skin thickening
  • Malignant calcification
  • Masses at the level of the nipple
  • Architectural distortion
  • Nipple retraction

However, the literature reports that the mammography can be negative in 22%–50% of patients. As underlying carcinoma is common even in women with a benign mammogram and no palpable mass, the breast US and MRI may be useful in detecting the lesion. US can be considered a part of initial evaluation and helpful for increasing sensitivity of mammography.
