[Contrast enhancement of the nipple in nuclear magnetic resonance tomography of the breast with Gd-DTPA].
Contrast enhancement around the nipple has been evaluated retrospectively in 51 of 70 patients in respect of the underlying breast disease. 2 of the patients had to be considered separately because of malignant disease of the nipple or areola itself. The remaining 49 patients showed no close relation between the underlying breast disease and the amount of contrast enhancement in the nipple. This phenomenon of a non-pathological significant contrast enhancement of the nipple appears important to avoid false positive diagnoses in MRI of the breast with Gd-DTPA.
