Cases with pathologically proven malignant nipple infiltration. a Axial early subtraction MR image shows irregularly shaped heterogeneously enhancing mass with speculated margins in the retroareolar region of the right breast, the nipple appears retracted with abnormal unilateral nipple enhancement, and there is thickening in the periareolar skin with evidence of tumor nipple enhancement (linear non-mass enhancement extending from the mass to the nipple base) (arrow). Pathological diagnosis revealed stage IIIC; grade II IDC with nipple infiltration; ER and PR: negative; and HER2: positive and high ki67. b Axial early subtraction MR image shows heterogeneous linear non-mass enhancement seen in the retroareolar region of the right breast (arrow). The right nipple appears retracted with the linear non-mass enhancement continuous with the nipple base. No periareolar skin thickening. No abnormal unilateral nipple enhancement. Pathological diagnosis revealed grade II IDC with nipple infiltration, ER: positive, PR: positive, and HER2: positive with high ki67. c Axial early subtraction MR image shows heterogeneous segmental non-mass enhancement is seen in the retroareolar region of the right breast (arrow). The right nipple appeared retracted showing abnormal unilateral nipple enhancement with thickening in the periareolar skin. The non-mass enhancement is seen continuously with the nipple base. Pathological diagnosis revealed grade II IDC with malignant nipple infiltration, ER: negative, PR: negative, and HER2: positive with high ki67
