title: Invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast: mammographic, sonographic, and MRI features.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical, imaging, and histopathologic findings of invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The imaging characteristics of invasive micropapillary carcinoma are highly suggestive of malignancy. The lesion is a high-density irregular mass with indistinct margins associated with microcalcifications on mammograms; a solid irregular hypoechoic mass with indistinct margins and frequent axillary nodal involvement on sonograms; and a multifocal mass on MR images. This tumor may necessitate aggressive management.
