Overview
Breast mammogram may be helpful in the diagnosis of fibroadenoma. On breast mammogram, fibroadenomas appear homogeneous with well circumscribed nodules.
Other Imaging Findings
Mammography
- Breast mammogram may be helpful in the diagnosis of fibroadenoma.
- On mammogram, fibroadenoma is characterized by:[1][2]
- Homogenous and well circumscribed nodules with smooth round edges
- Isodence or hypodense compared to normal breast glandular tissue
- Partially obscured margins or macro lobulation
- Inner coarse calcifications are often observed (mostly in postmenopausal women)
- It is not recommended for use in women <30 years because of the density of the breast tissue in this population.[3]
