title: Sonographic target sign and rim enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging in metastatic melanoma to the breast.
abstract: We report a target sign on ultrasound and peripheral rim enhancement on gadolinium (Gd)-enhanced MRI images in metastasis to the breast from melanoma. These classic signs, as reported in the liver (ultrasound target sign) and in primary breast cancers (Gd rim enhancement), are probably also of value in cases of metastatic lesions to the breast.
