A 37-year-old female patient with right mastalgia and breast tenderness for 3 weeks, not relieved with antibiotic therapy. Mammography craniocaudal (a) and mediolateral oblique (b) views show global asymmetry in the right breast (BIRADS II lesion). Axial STIR (c) is showing diffuse increased the signal intensity of the right breast parenchyma. Axial TI contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed image on dynamic sequence (d) shows diffuse homogenous non-mass enhancement of the right breast. Dynamic time-intensity curve (e) shows type I “progressive enhancement” curve. The lesion shows high signal on DWI at b value = 200 (f) and a very faint hyper intense signal at b value = 800 (g) with ADC value 1.68 × 10–3 mm2/s (h). MRI findings: BIRADS III lesion. Histopathological diagnosis: chronic mastitis
