Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) has unique histologic growth pattern. Few studies have focused on the value of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) specifically for ILC. We hypothesized that MRI adds value to the diagnostic workup in ILC by better defining the extent of disease and identifying additional foci of malignancy, which can change the...
