The authors present a case of a neuroendocrine carcinoma in an asymptomatic
75-year-old woman, detected in routine breast screening. The lesion was visible at
mammography as a well circumscribed, medium density nodule, with no associated
microcalcifications, and at ultrasonography as a hypoechoic nodule, with irregular
shape and ill-defined margins. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed findings
consistent with malignancy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
