Molecular breast imaging detected invasive lobular carcinoma in dense breasts: A case report

Clin Case Rep. 2019 Jan 28;7(3):442-444. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1945. eCollection 2019 Mar.

Abstract

This case highlights the role of molecular breast imaging (MBI) in evaluating persistent clinical concerns after a negative diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound. MBI is especially useful in the diagnosis of invasive lobular carcinoma due to its occult nature on conventional imaging modalities.

Keywords: breast cancer; invasive lobular carcinoma; molecular breast imaging; nuclear medicine; radiotracer.
