Fig. 5From: Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and Apparent diffusion coefficient mapping in the characterization of Palpable breast lesions: A prospective observational studyA 45-year-old female presented with a left breast lump. A, B and C Axial T2W, STIR and coronal STIR images reveal increased signal intensities in fibroglandular tissues of left breast, dominantly in superior and inferolateral quadrants (arrow) causing enlargement of left breast with thickening of overlying skin. D Axial DWI image shows a heterogeneous diffuse pattern of hyperintensities in the left breast (arrow) with fine nodular hyperintensities in the right breast. E and F Axial dynamic post-contrast (DCE-MRI) image reveals irregular nodular enhancement of the thickened fibroglandular tissues in both breasts, more on the left side (arrows) where the kinetic curve in the nodular enhanced area shows slow progressive enhancement curve (type I). These lesions were labeled as BI-RADS 2 lesion and were found to be chronic granulomatous mastitisBack to article page
