  • MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of fibroadenoma.
  • It has limited ability to differentiate benign lesions from malignant ones on the basis of signal intensity and enhancement alone.[1]
  • MRI image characteristics observed among fibroadenoma patients include:[1]
  • A lobular, oval or round lesion
  • Internal septations which can correlate with collagenous bands on histopathologic analysis.
