| Popis: | Mucinous and medullary breast cancers (BCs) have different histological substrates that manifest as different imaging features on mammography, ultrasound, and MRI. The aim of the present review is to demonstrate the differences between these two rare BC subtypes and to describe the microscopic features, review the imaging methods for detection of both cancer subtypes, illustrate the imaging findings and present useful pearls and pitfalls. Out of a total of 30 patients with mucinous BC and nine with medullary BC, we have selected typical and also unusual imaging features that best represent these cancers. The patients underwent a mammography and breast ultrasound followed by magnetic resonance imaging. We briefly exhibit histological characteristics for a better understanding of the imaging aspects. |
