Myoepithelial lesions of the breast: imaging characteristics and diagnosis with large-core needle biopsy in two cases

AJ Doyle, SL Alder and LR Rohr
Department of Radiology, University of Utah, Salt Lake City 84132.

Two mammographically detected myoepithelial lesions (one each in women aged 77 and 73 years) were diagnosed at large-core needle biopsy, with the results confirmed by means of surgical excision. The imaging features were nonspecific. A key clue to the diagnosis at histologic examination was the presence of a well-defined capsule around the lesion; hence, sampling of the margins of the lesion is essential. Radiologists should be familiar with myoepithelial lesions in the differential diagnosis of fairly smoothly marginated solid masses.
