ABSTRACT


Atypical breast hyperplasia is a precancerous lesion with a high risk of invasive carcinoma. The atypical character of hyperplasia is confirmed by the absence of anti Ck5/6 immuno-marking in the immunohistochemical study. These lesions are difficult to identify on breast ultrasound. Magnetic reasoning imaging shows non-mass enhancement which can have focal or regional distribution. We report the case of a 53-year-old woman, with a history of infiltrating lobular carcinoma of the right breast treated, in which the senological findings were in favor of atypical ductal hyperplasia of the left breast.

Keywords: Breast ultrasound, Ductal hyperplasia, MRI
