is there any peculiar feature on magnetic resonance mammography?
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to describe the semiological features of rare breast neoplasms at magnetic resonance mammography (MRM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Out of 468 MRMs of patients with a histological diagnosis of breast malignancy, 27 (5.7%) cases of rare breast neoplasms, confirmed by definitive histological analysis on surgical specimens, were selected: four (0.9%) intracystic papillary neoplasms, four (0.9%) intraductal papillary neoplasms, five (1.0%) invasive papillary neoplasms, two (0.4%) medullary carcinomas, seven (1.5%) mucinous carcinomas, three (0.6%) tubular carcinomas, one (0.2%) tubulo-lobular carcinoma and one (0.2%) desmoid tumour. Two radiologists evaluated the MRM images according to Fischer criteria and indicated a level of diagnostic suspicion. In particular, MRM lesion morphology and enhancement characteristics were analysed. RESULTS: No semiologic features of malignancy or peculiar appearances indicating rare breast neoplasm were identified. On the c
