Overview

MRI may be performed to detect the breast cancer associated with Paget's disease of the breast.

MRI

• MRI may be performed to detect the breast cancer associated with Paget's disease of the breast.
• MRI is useful in the detection of clinically occult cancer with no mammographic and ultrasonographic signs of malignancy; in fact, MRI has a sensitivity of 95% compared to 70% of mammography in the detection of breast lesions.
• MRI is useful not only to differentiate the normal nipple from the abnormal one but also to evaluate the extension of the tumor.
