Overview

MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of fibroadenoma. On a T1 weighted brain MRI image, fibroadenoma is characterized by a well-defined, isointense mass located at the upper-outer quadrant of the breast that may demonstrate calcification.

MRI

• MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of fibroadenoma.
• On MRI, fibroadenoma is characterized by a well-defined mass located at the upper-outer quadrant of the breast.
• MRI image characteristics observed among fibroadenoma patients include:

• T1 weighted image demonstrates:

• Hypointense or isointense mass

• T1 weighted image with gadolinium contrast demonstrates:

• Hyperintense mass

• T2 weighted image demonstrates:

• A slow initial contrast enhancement and a persistent delayed phase
