A poorly defined solid mass lesion which is poorly circumscribed with angular margins.
Case Discussion
Confirmed invasive ductal carcinoma on ultrasound-guided core biopsy.
Another illustration of the importance of review of the pectoral profile on the MLO view of the breast.
The lesion was clearly visible with the patient lying down with puckering of the skin seen. The patient did not notice any change to her breast.
