Tumor feature n (%) with invasion of the pectoralis major muscle at surgical pathology p-value
 MRI finding type abutting the muscle
 Non-mass enhancement 1/11 (9.1%) p = 0.802
 Mass 3/20 (15.0%)
 Spicule of a mass 0/7 (0%)
Deformed contour of pectoralis muscle
 Tenting of the muscle 1/8 (12.5%) p = 0.099
