Core Tip

Core Tip: Breast ductal carcinoma in situ arising within a fibroadenoma is a rare event. We present 2 such cases and discuss their clinical and imaging findings as well as treatment. Both patients underwent breast-conserving surgery and sentinel lymph node biopsy. The 2 cases received or planned to receive radiotherapy as well as endocrine therapy (tamoxifen). More sections are needed to reduce the missed rate. Complete follow-up data with preoperative imaging can help with decision-making during patient follow-up.
