Fig. 3

A 48-year-old woman with a PHBC in the left breast, classified as ‘true negative’. a Mediolateral oblique mammogram at primary breast cancer diagnosis showed extremely dense breast tissue and benign calcifications that were interpreted as negative. Primary breast cancer was a 22-mm microinvasive ductal carcinoma in the left breast. b Mediolateral oblique mammogram obtained 43 months after surgery also shows extremely dense breast tissue and no detectable abnormality except a postoperative change in the left breast. c Ultrasound image shows an 11-mm hypoechoic mass with partially not circumscribed margin (arrow) in the left breast subareolar area, which was pathologically proven to be a 12-mm microinvasive ductal carcinoma
