a Axial T1WI FS pre-contrast: Lesion displays intermediate signal intensity, b Axial T1WI post-contrast, c Post-subtraction images: Homogenous enhancement lesion. d Axial T2WI: The lesion displays low signal intensity, e Axial STIR: The lesion displays high signal Intensity, f kinetic curve: Type III, washout curve, g DWI: The lesion displays high signal intensity, h ADC value = 1.09 × 10−3 mm2/s (cut-off value of < 1.21 × 10−3 mm2/s,. i FA = 0.22 (cut-off value of > 0.15), j RA = 0.25 (cut-off value of > 0.13), k Maximum eigenvalue (λ1) = 1.31 × 10−3 mm2/s (cut-off value of < 1.71 × 10−3 mm2/s), l Middle eigenvalue (λ2) = 1.16 × 10−3 mm2/s (cut-off value of < 1.31 × 10−3 mm2/s), m Minimum eigenvalue (λ3) = 1.06 × 10−3 mm2/s (cut-off value of < 1.19 × 10−3 mm2/s) and n Fiber Tractography: Distortion and discontinuity of fiber tracts, suggesting malignant lesion. Provisional diagnosis by DCE-MRI and DTI parameters: Malignant lesion. Histopathological diagnosis: Invasive ductal carcinoma
