A 44-year-old patient presented with breast pain and swelling. DM images A and B revealed an indistinct high density lesion (thin arrow) with associated skin thickening (curved arrow). DBT image C showed two high density masses with obscured margins (block arrows) and BIRADS 4B was assigned to this case. However, USG images helped to characterize the nature of the lesions and showed the presence of homogenous internal echoes extending into ducts with increased vascularity (notched tail arrows) raising the suspicion of an inflammatory/infective etiology (D–F). US-guided aspiration of this lesion confirmed it to be an acute inflammatory pathology
