Caption

Images in a 54-year-old woman show a palpable lump in the right breast and an irregular mass in the left breast. Mammographic evaluation of the right breast was normal. (A, B) Craniocaudal (A) and mediolateral oblique (B) views of synthesized mammograms and (C) tomosynthesis image in craniocaudal and mediolateral oblique view of the left breast show an architectural distortion with mass (arrow in A and B, circles in C). (D) Targeted US scan at the site of the incidental finding shows an 8-mm hypoechogenic irregular solid mass with indistinct margins (arrow). US-guided biopsy showed invasive ductal carcinoma, grade I.
