Mediolateral oblique mammogram of both breasts show multiple, innumerable, well-defined soft-tissue opacities (arrows) and enlarged nipples in a 40-year-old woman. Differential Diagnosis
- Cysts
- Fibroadenomas: 10-20% are multiple
- Skin lesions: such as neurofibromas
- Intramammary lymph nodes
- Metastasis: melanoma (most common), lymphoma (2nd most common), lung, ovary, soft tissue sarcoma (breast metastasis has a very poor prognosis)
Our case: neurofibromatosis
