AI Article Synopsis
- - Glycogen-rich clear cell carcinoma (GRCC) is a rare and aggressive breast cancer that hasn't been extensively studied in terms of imaging characteristics.
- - In this report, imaging findings from three GRCC cases were analyzed, revealing that mammography typically shows irregular or oval-shaped masses, while ultrasound presents a mix of cystic and solid areas.
- - On MRI, GRCC appears as a high signal intensity mass on T-weighted images, with enhancement around the edges after contrast, which may help differentiate it from other breast tumors.
Article Abstract
Glycogen-rich clear cell carcinoma (GRCC) of the breast is a rare malignant tumor. Most previous reports focused on clinicopathologic findings of GRCC and imaging findings were not precisely described. Here, we report imaging findings of three cases of GRCC along with a literature review. GRCC of the breast was depicted as a mass with irregular or oval shape on mammography and complex cystic and solid composition or focal cystic change on ultrasound. GRCC showed internal high signal intensity on T-weighted MRI with rim enhancement after contrast injection. These might suggest the possibility of GRCC in differentiating breast tumors.
