Abstract:
Encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC) is an uncommon breast malignancy that is known to be indolent and associated with an excellent prognosis. However, there is a rare possibility of locoregional relapse or metastasis. Here, we present a case of recurrent EPC in the ipsilateral internal mammary lymph node (IMLN) that was detected in the postoperative magnetic resonance imaging with abbreviated protocol (AB-MRI). AB-MRI could facilitate the early detection of recurrent disease in the IMLN and may provide prognostic gain for such patients.
