Evaluation of the effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on probably benign breast lesions with MRI: Report of two cases

Abstract

In cases with breast cancer, probably benign lesions can also be seen in the other areas of the breast. It is known that neoadjuvant chemotherapy causes morphological changes in the normal breast tissue and the benign lesions, in addition to effects on malignant mass. In cases with complete response with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, probably benign lesions without tissue diagnosis cause a dilemma in the breast conserving surgery plan, when they shrink or disappear at the end of the treatment. We aimed to demonstrate the effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in cases with probably benign breast lesions via dynamic contrast enhanced breast MRI.
