Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast: mammographic findings

Can Assoc Radiol J. 1989 Aug;40(4):228-9.

Abstract

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is a rare lesion. Mammographic findings usually suggest malignancy and include an irregular, lobulated mass with poorly defined borders. Microcalcification is not a prominent finding. Tumor size is important in determining long-term outcome, and patients usually die from distant metastases.
