Granulomatous mastitis: mammographic and sonographic appearances

The objective of our study is to describe the mammographic and sonographic appearances of granulomatous mastitis. Granulomatous mastitis can mimic breast carcinoma clinically and mammographically, but the sonographic appearance of multiple clustered, often contiguous tubular hypoechoic lesions that...
