Mucinous carcinoma of the breast: Breast cancer which shows high signal intensity on T2WI

Common in older age than IDC NOS

Slow growing, more favorable prognosis

DCIS are found in 75% of the patients

Imaging finding

  • US : Circumscribed, isoechoic or slightly hypoechoic mass, posterior enhancement > 50%
  • MR : High signal intensity in T2WI due to mucinous component

Let’s see a case (83 year-old female) from my hospital which diagnosed as mucinous carcinoma after CNB

Oval microlobulated high density mass in UOQ (mucinous carcinoma)

Oval microlobulated isoechoic mass with vascularity (vessels in rim) and mild posterior enhancement

Oval microlobulated heterogenously enhancing mass in right breast, the mass shows bright signal intensity on T2WI
