A round mass lesion is frequently a cyst, myxoid fibroadenoma, or papilloma.
Less commonly a myxoid or medullary carcinoma may appear round, although carcinomas will show at least someevidence of peripheral infiltration into surrounding tissues.

Elliptical or oval shapes may occur with cysts, myxoid fibroadenomas, and papillomas.
Myxoid carcinomas also have relatively well-defined rounded or oval margins.
Circumscribed mastitis or a small noninvasive carcinoma (DCIS, approximately 5 mm in size) may have an oval shape with ill-defined margins.

3. Lobulated shape
An undulating contour.

5. Well-circumscribed Margin
Lesion margins are assessed in the first postcontrast image, usually 90 seconds after the injection of 0.1 mmol/kg body weight gadolinium-DTPA.
![Page 16: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

6. Irregular margins
Uneven margins, may be round or spiculated; characterized by thin infiltrating lines.
![Page 19: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Irregular margins are typical of invasive carcinomas as well as fibrotic scars with adenosis.
Inflammatory masses also tend to have irregular margins (mastitis, abscess), especially after percutaneousbiopsy.
Interpretition:
![Page 21: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
7. Blooming sign
The lesion margins are sharply defined in the first postcontrast image, then become increasingly unsharp just outside the lesion.
![Page 22: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

the blooming sign is a typical feature of invasive carcinoma. It may be caused by closely adjacent perifocal inflammation or the activation of tumor angiogenesis.
Interpretition:
![Page 24: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
8. Contrast Sharpness Sign
The lesion remains sharply defined throughout the dynamic study. Sharp margins are maintained until the last dynamic postcontrast image (usually 7 minutes after contrast injection).
![Page 25: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Constant sharpness throughout the dynamic study generally signifies a benign lesion, i.e., a fibroadenomaor papilloma.
Rarely, medullary carcinomas may also appear sharp throughout the dynamic scans, but in most cases they display subtle infiltrative signs and a blooming sign.
Interpretition:
![Page 27: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
9. Homogeneous Enhancement
Complete, uniform enhancement in all portions of the mass.
![Page 28: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Homogeneous enhancement is far more common in benign lesions such as papilloma and myxoid fibroadenoma.
Some very small cancers may have this appearance, but most will show centripetal ring enhancementand fine peripheral spiculations.
Interpretition:
![Page 30: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
10. Heterogeneous Enhancement
Mixed granular enhancement within the mass; nonspecific enhancement that does not show a ring pattern.
![Page 31: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Heterogeneous enhancement is typical of calcified macrofibroadenoma. Benign or malignant lesionsmay also display this sign following percutaneous biopsy or hemorrhage.
Interpretition:
![Page 33: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
11. Centrifugal Enhancement
The enhancement is initially more pronounced at the center of the mass and then spreads toward the periphery (“filling in from inside to outside”).
![Page 34: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Centrifugal enhancement does not support a diagnosis of carcinoma and is much more consistent with a benign lesion.
Interpretition:
![Page 36: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
12. Centripetal Enhancement
Peripheral ring enhancement occurs initially and then spreads toward the center of the mass (“filling in from outside to inside”).
![Page 37: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Centripetal enhancement is the classic enhancement pattern of carcinoma. The portions of the tumor that are most viable and have the best blood supply are located at the periphery of the massand show the greatest contrast uptake. The center of the tumor, meanwhile, is an area of necrosis,fibrosis, or hemorrhage, causing a delay in contrast uptake.
Interpretition:

13. Dark internal septations
Sharp, low-intensity, nonenhancing lines visible within the mass throughout the dynamic study.
![Page 40: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Hypointense, nonenhancing septations within a lesion are generally a benign sign, because a carcinomawound tend to erode, infiltrate, or break down internal septa.
Interpretition:
![Page 42: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Enhancing septations within a mass lesion are very suspicious for an inflammatory process (abscess)or a malignant tumor.
Generally they do not indicate invasive ductal carcinoma, however. They are more characteristic of a metastasis, lymphoma, medullary carcinoma, lobular carcinoma, or an illdefined linear necrotic area within a carcinoma.
Interpretition:
![Page 45: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
15. Segmental Enhancement
Granular, triangular area of enhancement pointing toward the nipple. This sign may be present in one or more ducts. All types of enhancement curve may be seen. Usually limited to one breast.
![Page 46: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

A segmental, usually triangular area of enhancement pointing toward the nipple is a typical sign of noninvasive carcinoma (DCIS), particularly when it is unilateral and is relatively well demarcated from other, unaffected areas of the breast parenchyma. The segmental pattern refers to the overall collection of small foci and/or infiltrative changes, which have a granular or reticular appearance.
Mastitis may appear as a triangular enhancing area, but this is uncommon.
Interpretition:

16. Hypointensity on T2- weighted TSE images
The signal intensity of the viable portions of the lesion on T2-weighted turbo spin-echo images is lower than the signal intensity of normal surrounding breast parenchyma.
![Page 49: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

A mass lesion whose T2-weighted signal intensity is less than or at most equal to that of the normal glandular tissue may be a carcinoma or fibrous fibroadenoma.
Interpretition:
![Page 51: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
17. Isointensity on T2- weighted TSE images
The signal intensity of the viable parts of the lesion on T2-weighted turbo spin-echo images is in the same range as that of normal surrounding breast parenchyma.
![Page 52: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Isointensity is typically seen in fibrous fibroadenomas and myxoid fibroadenomas that have slight intralesional hemorrhage after biopsy.
Carcinomas may have the same signal intensity as the surrounding glandular tissue on the T2-weighted TSE image, but they are usually hypointense to breast parenchyma
Interpretition:
![Page 54: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
The signal intensity of the viable parts of the lesion on T2-weighted turbo spin-echo images is higher than that of normal surrounding breast parenchyma. Areas of intratumoral necrosis, if present, are disregarded.
18. Hyperintensity on T2- weighted TSE images
![Page 55: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Hyperintensity is an important differentiating criterion between myxoid fibroadenomas and carcinomas.
Carcinomas are dark on the T2-weighted TSE image, while myxoid fibroadenomas are generally brighter than the glandular tissue.

19. Hook sign
The hook sign is a fine, thread-like connection passing from the lesion to the pectoralis muscle. Usually this line shows little or no enhancement after contrast administration.
![Page 58: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

The root sign is a small irregularity in the margins of a lesion that is otherwise sharply circumscribed.
This feature may represent a fibroadenoma with localized peripheral fibrosis or a well-circumscribedcarcinoma, usually of the medullary type, with an associated DCIS border.

21. No Enhancement
MRI signal intensity increases by less than 2% after the injection of 0.1 mmol/kg body weight gadolinium- DTPA during the first 90 seconds after contrast injection and also within the first 7 minutes.
![Page 64: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

1.Basically this sign is a very strong indicator of a benign condition (adenosis, fibrous fibroadenoma, scar, fat necrosis, etc.).
2.It can also be seen in scar tissue that is more than 6 months old.
Interpretition:
![Page 66: Herzliches Glückw ü nsch](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814dec550346895dbb5c37/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
22. Slow wash-in
(“Wash-in” describes the maximum rise of signal intensity that occurs during the first 90 seconds after the injection of 0.1 mmol/kg body weight gadolinium-DTPA or a similar contrast agent.) In cases with slow wash-in, the MRI signal intensity increases by less than 50% over the precontrast signal intensity within 90 seconds after injection of the contrast agent.

The moderately intense initial enhancement of a mass lesion is most commonly seen in a fibroadenomaor papilloma.
Less frequently it occurs in carcinomas after chemotherapy.
Medium wash-in occurring in a non-mass lesion may indicate mastitis, a fresh scar, or a hormonal effect

24. Fast wash-in
A maximum signal increase of more than 90% occurs within 90 seconds after injection of the contrast agent (0.1 mmol/kg body weight gadolinium-DTPA). This sign is also known as the “90/90 rule.”

Rapid initial enhancement immediately after contrast administration is typical of invasive carcinomabut may also been seen in focal components of noninvasive carcinoma (DCIS).
Approximately 20%of papillomas and myxoid fibroadenomas exhibit a fast wash-in curve.

25. Plateau curve
No further rise of signal intensity occurs in the enhancement curve after 90 seconds or after the curve has started to change.

When the enhancement curve of a mass lesion plateaus after the initial upslope, a carcinoma or papilloma should be considered.
This pattern is less commonly seen in myxoid fibroadenoma.

27. Washout curve
A decline in signal intensity occurs after the initial upslope during the first 90 seconds or when the curve has started to change.

Washout, defined as a decline of signal intensity occurring after an initial rise, is the main kinetic criterionfor breast cancer.
The rapid washout of Gd-DTPA from these lesions is most likely caused by the arteriovenous shunts that exist within the network of tumor vessels.
