Abstract
cancerous nodules growing with a ‘‘targetoid appearance’’ in which tumor cells are arranged around ducts and lobules in a concentric fashion, which looks like the periductal growth of fibroadenoma. Fibrous bands were compressed between the nodules (Fig. 1b) and corresponded to nonenhancing internal septa on MRI. Slender strands of cells arranged in a linear fashion, the major characteristic growth pattern of ILC, were not dominant in our cases. The most common features of ILC on MRI are an irregular ⁄ spiculated inhomogeneous mass with or without enhancing surrounding small foci, multiple small enhancing foci with interconnecting enhancing strands, and architectural distortion; however, the MR appearances of our cases well reflected one of the intrinsic growth patterns of ILC. Although nonenhancing septation is one of the diagnostic features of fibroadenoma, we should notice that ILC can demonstrate nonenhancing septa on MRI.
