title: MRI Features of Mucinous Cancer of the Breast: Correlation With Pathologic Findings and Other Imaging Methods.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Mucinous breast carcinoma is an uncommon histologic type of invasive breast carcinoma that can be differentiated in pure and mixed forms, which have different prognosis and treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  MRI features of both types of mucinous breast carcinomas are discussed, illustrated, and compared with pathologic findings and with other imaging methods, including mammography, ultrasound, and PET/CT.
