Abstract

Fat necrosis of the breast is a benign inflammatory process, it has a wide range of findings on MRI some of which are in the malignant spectrum. We present a case of a breast fat necrosis that mimicked malignancies on MRI because of intense internal enhancement with a type 3 kinetic curve, its relatively large size, and axillary lymphadenopathy.
