Global asymmetry in a 33-year female patient complaining from left breast lump. (A) CC and (B) MLO mammography views of both breasts revealed global asymmetry of the left breast (ellipses) with multiple well defined superficially located dense oval shaped masses at UOQ (arrow in A). (C) CC and (D) MLO 3 D tomosynthesis views of both breasts better delineated the margins of the masses (arrow in C) yet did not add to the mammographic findings in characterisation of the asymmetry (ellipses) (BIRADS 3). Ultrasound images on (E) revealed corresponding increased parenchymal echogenicity with multiple scattered well defined anechoic cysts with clear content (largest of them marked by the arrow) (BIRADS 2). The findings suggested fibrocystic changes in the breast
