Abstract:
Malignant breast images may include opacities (stellar--rounded with blurred margins), microcalcifications, opacities with microcalcifications, asymmetric fibroglandular tissue, or distortion of the mammographic pattern. Secondary signs may also be present, such as skin thickening, skin or nipple retraction, prominent vascularisation, axillary lymph nodes. The aim of this paper is to describe the different aspects and to make the differential diagnosis from benign tumors and normal tissue.
