A 30-year-old female patient presenting with multicentric invasive ductal carcinoma in the right breast and fibroadenoma in the left breast. On A, one observes contrast-enhanced, dynamic 3D MIP image with subtraction, demonstrating the presence of multiple breast nodules at right and one retroareolar nodule at left. On B, C and D it is possible to observe that the contrast-enhancement pattern of the breast nodules at right demonstrates characteristics of washout curve and plateau type 3, sometimes observed in malignant nodules. On E, the analysis of the kinetic curve of the breast nodule at left demonstrates characteristics different from the others, showing a type 1 curve, a pattern that is more frequently observed in benign nodules.
