A 68-year-old patient, presenting with a right breast lump. a US showed a right upper outer quadrant macrolobulated hypoechoic mass lesion (BI-RADS 3). b SWE showed that the hard aread/red represent < 50% (score 3, considered as malignant). The measured Emax. = 162.3 kPa, and Eratio = 23.5 (considered as malignant). c, d DW-MRI showed restricted diffusion, with ADC value of 0.7 × 10−3 × mm2/s (considered as malignant) Pathology confirmed the malignant nature of the lesion (both quantitative DW-MRI and SWE revealed false negative results)
