A case of diabetic mastopathy studied with MR-mammography is described. It concerns a female patient with long-lasting (10-years) insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. A non-tender, palpable firm-to hard mass of the left breast was found and studied with mammography, ultrasonography and MR-mammography. Surgical excision of the mass was performed. The mammogram revealed dense fibroglandular tissue bilaterally. Ultrasonography showed hypoechoic solid tissue in the region of palpable breast mass with marked posterior acoustic shadowing. MR-mammography showed a hypointense area of fibrosis with poor enhancement. Quantitative analysis revealed a typically benign gradual type dynamic curve. MR-mammography can be useful to differentiate diabetic mastopathy from malignant lesions. In women with diabetic mastopathy MR-mammography, clinical examination and careful follow-up may prevent surgical excision.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
