In patients with breasts injected with foreign material, MRI was used to successfully diagnose malignant breast lesions and could be the diagnostic method of choice. Analysis of the morphological and kinetic features at MRI in conjunction with clinical findings is essential.

(Ed..) If the patient has been injected with Silicone rather than paraffin oil, then add silicone suppression sequence to the fat suppression series to distinguish between foci of silicone and

The breast MRI CAD system used could not improve the radiologists' accuracy for distinguishing all malignant from benign lesions, due to the poor sensitivity for DCIS detection

Although there are emerging patterns associated with PASH on imaging, the features are not sufficiently specific to allow for a prospective diagnosis. Histological confirmation, preferably with core biopsy, should always be considered

(Ed:)
From a BIRADS point of view, on ultrasound these most commonly present as a circumscribed oval solid mass, and therefore benign appearances. The mammographic features are usually more suspicious and therefore more likely to prompt biopsy
