title: MRI patterns of invasive lobular breast cancer.
abstract: Dr. Schelfout and colleagues, in the March 2004 issue of European Radiology described six tumor morphologic patterns of invasive lobular breast cancer. We retrospectively compared findings on preoperative MR imaging in 18 patients with invasive lobular cancer performed at our institution and we found an additional morphologic pattern in our population: a mass with regular margins (five cases).
