Abstract

Lesions with a mammographic appearance of a soft-tissue mass or pleomorphic, linear, or linear-branching calcifications, as well as mammographically occult (ie, depicted at MR only) lesions, were more likely to exhibit plateau or washout enhancement characteristics than were lesions with amorphous or indistinct calcifications and might represent more aggressive disease.
