Abstract

Appearances can be deceiving and this pictorial essay illustrates the imaging appearance of breast lesions which may or may not appear as classic for malignancy. These cases are considered unusual, interesting and uncommonly encountered, thus providing an avenue for better collaboration and as a teaching point for both radiologists and pathologists.
