| Summary: | Mesenchymal tumors of the breast, which originate from the mammary stroma, are rare accounting
for only approximately 0.5%–1% of all breast tumors. Pathologically, they can exist
on a spectrum, ranging from benign to malignant. Such tumors may present with nonspecific
findings on breast imaging, including mammography, ultrasound, and MRI, which can
lead to diagnostic challenges. In the 2019 revised 5th edition of the World Health Organization
classification, breast mesenchymal tumors are categorized into six groups. The current
pictorial essay aimed to explore the clinical, pathological, and imaging characteristics of
representative lesions in each category according to this six-group classification, with the ultimate
goal of enhancing awareness for early diagnosis. |
