title: Two cases of metastases to the breast on MR mammography.
abstract: We report appearance of two cases of metastases to the breast on MR mammography. Metastasis from cervical cancer displayed a hypointense tumor with a central area of high signal intensity on T2-weighted images and rapid annular enhancement with persistent central contrast enhancement. The metastases from rhabdomyosarcoma were characterized by multiple tumors with high signal intensity on T2-weighted images and fast annular contrast enhancement. We show unusual malignant breast lesions for possible identification in dynamic MR mammography.
