FIGURE 2

A 57-year-old female patient with a proven IDC in the right breast. Preoperative MRI showed a small mass on the left breast (A). DCE-MRI showed a progressive-type kinetic curve (B), suggestive of benign lesion. The lesions showed high signal on DWI (C) and low signal on ADC map (D), ADC = 0.84 × 10−3 mm2/s, suggestive of malignant lesion. PET-MRI fusion showed no increase of 18F-FDG uptake on the lesion (E), suggestive of benign lesion. After surgical resection, the histologic diagnosis was low-grade IDC. 18F-FDG = 18F-fluoro-deoxi-glucose, ADC = apparent diffusion coefficient, DCE-MRI = dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, DWI = diffusion-weighted imaging, IDC = invasive ductal carcinoma, PET-MRI = positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
