Benign focal asymmetry in a 49 years old female complaining from palpable right breast lump with positive family history for cancer breast. CC (A) and MLO (B) mammography views of both breasts revealed right breast UOQ area of focal asymmetry (arrows), patient then proceeded to CC (C) and MLO (D) 3D digital tomosynthesis that better delineated the asymmetry (arrows) with no associated masses, architectural distortion or micro-calcification assigned as BIRADS 4a. (E) Ultrasonography image revealed isolated breast adenosis in the form of hyperechoic parenchyma with a mottling appearance (BIRADS 3). Ultrasound here confirmed the benign nature of the asymmetry which represented benign focal breast adenosis with absence of underlying breast lesions, which was confirmed by follow-up
