| Invasive micropapillary carcinoma is a rare, clinically aggressive variant of invasive
ductal carcinoma. Imaging findings of invasive micropapillary carcinoma are not specific,
and associated microcalcifications are frequent. Our case presented with unique
radiological features: a mass with coarse macrocalcifications on mammography and
breast computed tomography and a hyperechoic mass on breast ultrasound.
Macrocalcifications and hyperechogenicity are not usual malignant characteristics. We
report here on our experience with a 55-year-old woman who had invasive micropapillary
carcinoma in the breast with unique radiological and pathological findings. |
