a Axial T1WI FAT SAT pre-contrast: The mass displays isointense signal, b Axial T1WI post-contrast, c Post-subtraction images: Homogenous non-mass enhancement, d Axial T2WI: Low signal intensity, e Axial T2WI FS: The mass displays high signal intensity (no suppression), f Axial STIR: The mass displays high signal intensity, g kinetic curve: Type I, rising curve, h Axial DWI: The mass displays high signal, i ADC value = 1.37 × 10−3 mm2/s (cut-off value of < 1.21 × 10−3 mm2/s), j FA = 0.09 (cut-off value of > 0.15), k RA = 0.11 (cut-off value of > 0.13), l Maximum eigenvalue (λ1) = 2.4 × 10−3 mm2/s (cut-off value of < 1.71 × 10−3 mm2/s), m: Middle eigenvalue (λ2) = 2 × 10−3 mm2/s (cut- off value of < 1.31 × 10−3 mm2/s), n Minimum eigenvalue (λ3) = 1.34 × 10−3 mm2/s (cut- off value of < 1.19 × 10−3 mm2/s) and o Fiber Tractography: Intact fibers suggesting benign nature of the mass. Provisional diagnosis by DCE-MRI and DTI parameters: Benign lesion. Histopathological diagnosis: Chronic granulomatous mastitis
