A “Spontaneously Shrinking” Breast Mass: Unusual Presentation of Invasive Tubular Carcinoma

Abstract

A solid breast mass that decreases in size over time without treatment is generally felt to be inconsistent with a diagnosis of malignancy. We describe a case where this dogma proves to be incorrect. Mammographic features of a mass, along with the patient's clinical hormonal status, need to be considered along with size characteristics.
