Abstract
|
|
|
|
Primary breast melanoma is extremely rare, and as such, there are no established radiologic findings in the literature. This report describes a case of primary malignant melanoma with mammography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging findings. Our case study demonstrates a well-circumscribed heterogeneous rim-enhancing mass, with an internal cystic or necrotic portion seen using three modalities. Thus, although rare, this condition should be included in the differential diagnosis of a well-demarcated heterogeneous breast mass, and further pathological confirmation is needed.
