Learning objectives The purpose of our educational exhibit is: To illustrate the spectrum of breast related imaging findings, both benign and malignant, on chest CT. To correlate breast pathology on CT with dedicate breast imaging modalities. To highlight these abnormalities that are clinically relevant and should alert the radiologist for further investigation. Read more Background Normal 0 21 false false false EN-GB JA X-NONE Read more Findings and procedure details Cases presented were collected between January 2013 and July 2016. Cases of focal breast pathology were only included when histopathology was available. Lesions with a typically benign appearance were only included without histopathologic confirmation when long-term follow-up was available. 1/benign focal and non-focal breast abnormalities Fibroadenoma Fibroadenoma is the most common benign breast lesion, usually found between 10 and 40 years of age. This lesion results from excess connective tissue proliferation and is usually hormone sensitive. Fibroadenomas present on imaging studies as well-circumscribed round or...

Therefore it is important to ‘look outside the box’ and pay attention to the breasts on CT. Familiarity with the CT characteristics of breast pathology and post-operative changes will aid the radiologist in identifying clinically relevant changes.
