Fig. 3

A 44-year-old female presenting with a left breast lump. a US showed a left upper outer quadrant, well-circumscribed, ovel, hypoechoic mass lesion (BI-RADS 3). b SWE showed that the hard/red areas represent less than 50% of the lesion (score 2, considered as probably benign). The measures Emax = 80.7 kPa and Eration = 54.9 (considered as suspicious). c, d CE-MRI showed no contrast uptake within the lesion of concern (and consequently no kinematic curve). e, f DW-MRI showed non-restriction with and ADC value of 1.8 × 10−3 × mm2/s (considered as benign). This lesion was proved benign (quantitative SWE showed false positive results)
