Figure 1 Mammogram right breast medio-lateral and spot compression craniocaudal views (A-B) demonstrating heterogeneous dense breast with scattered benign vascular calcifications. Ultrasound was recommended because of dense breast. (C) Ultrasound right breast 12:00 position, 3cm from the nipple demonstrated a 5.3 × 1.9 × 2.0cm, irregular hypo-echoic mass with posterior acoustic shadowing (arrow) and peripheral vascularity, and was given BI-RADS category 5 (highly suggestive of malignancy). (D) Ultrasound-guided biopsy of right breast mass at 12:00 position was performed using 11-G vacuum-assisted needle (arrow). Histopathology (hematoxylin-eosin stain) from biopsy (E-H) demonstrated dense stromal fibrosis (arrow in F), clusters of ductal cells (arrow in G) and periductal lymphocytes (arrow in H), suggestive of diabetic mastopathy.
