Abstract:
Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is a rare disease characterized by neutrophil and immune-complex deposition in the small vessel walls. We report a 47-year-old female patient with leukocytoclastic vasculitis of the breast, presenting as breast edema on mammography, irregular hypoechoic lesion with central necrosis on ultrasonography and regionally distributed heterogeneous non-mass enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging.
