Multiple myeloma of the breast: mammographic, ultrasonographic and magnetic resonance imaging features

Unusual malignant breast lesions: imaging-pathologic correlations

“…7). The mammography findings were similar to the non-specific findings documented in previous studies (15). However, we observed well-defined hypoechoic masses containing central and peripheral hyperechoic rims on US (Fig.…”

“…On US, the masses may be either welldefined or ill-defined. They are round and hypoechoic with posterior shadowing or enhancement (14,15). One patient with bilateral plasmacytoma is reported in this study.…”

“…It may present as a solitary finding or in association with disseminated multiple myeloma (14,15). More than half of the lesions are unilateral, with the majority of the cases occurring in the setting of multiple myeloma (14,15). The mean age at presentation of breast plasmacytomas is 53 years.…”

“…The mean age at presentation of breast plasmacytomas is 53 years. Tumors range in size from 1 to 7.5 cm (15). The mammographic apperance is single or multiple well-defined masses without spiculations and microcalcifications.…”

A rare imaging case of bilateral plasmacytoma of the breast

“… 8 Typically, lesions are often well-defined sometimes with irregular or ill-defined margins without spiculations or microcalcification. 9 …”
