ultrasoundHyperechogenicity in the breast on ultrasound (US) is usually regarded as a benign feature with only rare hyperechoic malignancies reported to date. In this study, we evaluated the pathologic findings on core needle biopsy of hyperechoic lesions and investigated the histologic features in ...

ultrasoundSummary Malignant breast lesions are typically hypoechoic at sonography. However, a small subgroup of hyperechoic malignant breast lesions is encountered in clinical practice. We present a pictorial essay of a number of different hyperechoic breast malignancies with mammographic, sonographic and ...
TEACHING POINTS: Some rare malignant breast lesions can present a hyperechoic appearance. Malignant lesions present other characteristics that are suggestive of malignancy. An echogenic mass with fat density on mammography does not require biopsy.
