ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to review the imaging features of mucocelelike breast lesions, correlate the mammographic and pathologic findings, and determine recommendations for management. CONCLUSION: Mucocelelike lesions are more common than previously reported and are likely to exhibit indeterminate calcifications on mammography. Diagnosis is most often made with Mammotome biopsy. A large number of patients have associated atypia or carcinoma. For patients with purely benign histologic findings at Mammotome biopsy, optimal management should be excisional biopsy to exclude associated malignancy.
