Abstract

A secretory carcinoma of the breast is a rare, but clinically and histologically a distinct variant of the invasive ductal carcinoma, which has a slow growth pattern and a favorable prognosis. Few studies have reported the radiologic findings involved in a secretory carcinoma of the breast. We report the imaging findings of a secretory carcinoma of the breast in a 48-year-old woman, which were similar to those of a benign mass found on a mammography and sonography.
