Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features of Breast Leukemia

Abstract

Breast leukemia is extremely rare. Only 7 other reports describe its magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings. This report describes a case of breast leukemia presenting as isolated intramammary leukemic relapse in the breasts after complete remission of acute myeloid leukemia. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging showed diffuse heterogeneous non-mass-like enhancement in one breast and a diffuse irregular heterogeneously enhancing mass in the other. Previous reports of MR imaging findings in breast leukemia have included only mass-like lesions; hence, the finding reported here is uncommon.
