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.
