Mucocelelike Lesions of the Breast: Mammographic Findings with Pathologic Correlation

Abstract

Mucocelelike lesions are more common than previously reported and are likely to exhibit indeterminate calcifications on mammography. Diagnosis is most often made with Mammotome biopsy. A large number of patients have associated atypia or carcinoma. For patients with purely benign histologic findings at Mammotome biopsy, optimal management should be excisional biopsy to exclude associated malignancy.
