A 37-year-old female was indicated to have a non-mass lesion in her left breast on ultrasonography (US) and visited our outpatient clinic. Mammography showed no findings of masses or microcalcification. Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a segmental enhanced lesion consisting of nodular and ring enhancement.

Morphologic study of nipple-areola complex in 600 breasts.

To investigate the morphologic characteristics of the nipple-areola complex, the diameter of the nipple-areola complex and the height of the nipple in 300 adult women (600 breasts) were measured using micrometer calipers. Furthermore, the morphologic characteristics were classified into four types by visual observation. Mean diameter of the areola was 4.

Axillary mass suspected to be occult breast carcinoma: a case study of skipped axillary lymph node metastasis from endometrial carcinoma in which core-needle biopsy was useful for diagnosis.

A 55-year-old Japanese woman presented with metrorrhagia and was diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma. Chest computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a left axillary mass. Regarding the diagnosis of the axillary mass, lymph node metastasis from the uterus was first suspected.
