- Abstract
Rare breast tumors, such as, pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia, granulomatous mastitis, tubular adenoma, myofibroblastoma and xanthogranulomatous mastitis, sarcomas, neuroendocrine tumors can sometimes be misdiagnosed because of the similarities in their imagistic characteristics. The main objective of our report is to emphasize the importance of performing ultrasound-guided breast biopsies of suspect lesions in young patients. We performed an US-guided breast biopsy instead of an excisional biopsy because breast surgery has a huge psychological impact. We selected 3 atypical breast tumors in young women, with different clinical signs and symptoms, some of which similar to other breast lesions, but with rapid growth, which needed a different and multiple imaging approach.
