Fig. 2 43 year-old female with US-detected BI-RADS® 4 lesion in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast. On MG (2a–d) there is a presumably corresponding oval densification (*) on the CC-view, which is not detectable in both views (BI-RADS® category 3). The sonographic BI-RADS® 4 lesion was biopsied US-guided and proved to be ILC. On the maximum intensity projection (MIP) of the preoperative MRI (2e) a corresponding, but smaller suspicious lesion (arrow) and another BI-RADS® 4 lesion in the centre of the breast (arrowhead), which was biopsied through MRI-guidance and was another focus of carcinoma. Histopathology revealed bifocal ILC (14mm and 2mm) without additional CIS. European Journal of Radiology 2017 90, 181-187DOI: (10.1016/j.ejrad.2017.02.045) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

Fig. 3 62 year-old female with a mass suspicious for lymph node metastasis in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast (arrow) and an architectural distortion in the centre of the breast (*), Fig. 3a–d. No suspicious calcifications. On the subtraction images of the MRI (3e) broad area of suspicious non-mass enhancement in the right breast. MRI induced a change of the surgical procedure (mastectomy). Histopathology revealed unifocal cT3 N+ breast cancer with a 70mm lobular CIS. No repeated surgery was performed.
