Abstract:
Breast sarcoidosis is a rare disease entity and may have similar imaging findings as a breast malignancy. We report here a case of primary breast sarcoidosis that was diagnosed as nonspecific inflammation by sonography-guided 14-G automated needle biopsy. A directional vacuum assisted biopsy was helpful for a correct diagnosis.
