Abstract

Ultrasound (US) is an attractive diagnostic approach to identify both common and uncommon nipple pathologies, such asduct ectasia, nipple abscess, nipple leiomyoma, nipple adenoma, fibroepithelial polyp, ductal carcinoma in situ (restrictedto nipple), invasive carcinoma, and Paget’s disease. US is the reliable first-line imaging technique to assess nipplepathologies. It is useful to identify and characterize nipple lesions. Additionally, we have presented the mammography andMRI outcomes correlated with histopathologic features for the relevant cases.
