Chang, Lee, Kwon, Choi, Hwang, Goo, Park, Kim, and Lee: MR Imaging of Diabetic Mastopathy: A Case Report

Abstract

Diabetic mastopathy is a rare disease that occurs in longterm insulin-dependent diabetic patient. It manifests as a hard palpable breast mass that may be clinically indistinguishable from a breast carcinoma. Mammography shows a non-specific, dense, heterogenous glandular opacity in both breasts. Sonography shows a markedly hypoechoic, ill-marginated mass with a posterior acoustic shadowing. We present the mammography, ultrasonography and MRI findings of a 54-year-old woman with diabetic mastopathy.
