A case of pathologically proven IDC grade II (T2). a Breast U/S revealed a partially defined irregular shaped hypoechoic mass lesion at right 7–8 o’clock. b DCE-MRI revealed right partially circumscribed ring enhancing breast mass with central breakdown at the lower outer quadrant with restricted diffusion (bright on DWI and dark on ADC with central bright signal (breakdown)). c Right axillary pathologically enlarged LN showing restricted diffusion in the DWI-MRI. d In this case, the tumor size (T) detected by DCE-MRI and ultrasound were correlating with pathological specimen results, while DWI-MRI was able to detect the pathological axillary LN that was missed by DCE-MRI and SM
