Breast Cancer Mimics is an enthralling collection of case scenarios collected by radiologists across the globe, highlighting the one common line of thought benign breast lesions that resemble malignancies.
Composed of dedicated breast radiologists, this book reflects the practical challenges that have been encountered in actual scenarios. Sufficient and only relevant content has been provided, with more emphasis being laid on the images and descriptors which can aid in distinguishing these conditions from malignancies.
Key Features
- Wide coverage of all benign conditions which mimic malignancy on imaging.
- Apart from common conditions, even some of the rarest cases such as mammary tuberculosis, filariasis, granular cell tumor of the breast, and angiomatosis have been covered.
- Classified, topic-specific literature background and histology creates a complete picture for the reader.
- Self-assessment questions at the end of each unit enable the reader to not only recapitulate the content but also stimulate the thinking process.
