Core Tip

Core Tip: Fibroadenoma (FA) is the most common tumor found in women. Although it can occur in any age group, is important to consider when to suspicious a malignant change of FA. The case we report is of great interest to the radiology community because ductal carcinoma in situ within a FA is a challenge to diagnosis. The aim of this case report is to present the current findings in imaging studies for an early diagnosis and to not delay the treatment.
