Key result
Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography successfully identified and delineated the extent of a breast angiosarcoma that was not visible on standard B-mode ultrasonography.
Why the study?
Does contrast-enhanced ultrasonography improve the delineation of breast angiosarcoma compared to B-mode ultrasonography?
Does contrast-enhanced ultrasonography improve the delineation of breast angiosarcoma compared to B-mode ultrasonography?
Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography may be useful for delineating breast angiosarcoma when B-mode ultrasonography fails to indicate a tumor.
CEUS may delineate breast angiosarcoma missed on B-mode; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
We present a case of breast angiosarcoma. Although B-mode ultrasonography did not indicate a tumor, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) was successfully delineated it. CEUS helped identify the tumor and its extent.
