Abstract :
Medullary carcinoma is a rare breast carcinoma with a syncytial growth pattern and high-grade cytology. It can be
difficult to diagnose and may be missed on conventional imaging as the findings may overlap with benign lesions i.e.
fibroadenomas. The authors report a case of a 25-year-old female who presented with multifocal breast lumps diagnosed
with medullary carcinoma and fibroadenomas. Imaging and pathological correlation with contrast-enhanced MRI are
presented in the diagnosis of these lesions.
