Imaging depicts a screen-detected invasive breast cancer in the dense breast tissue of a 59-year-old woman. A section in the mediolateral oblique view from a DBT exam of the left breast shows an irregular mass with surrounding architectural distortion (circle). The participant had no history of breast cancer and had been screened previously in the German mammography screening program. Histologic analysis showed invasive carcinoma of no special type, grade 2, with tumor size of 18 mm. Image courtesy of the RSNA.
