Imaging appearance of parasitic infestations of the breast: a report of two cases and review of the literature

Abstract

Parasitic infestations of the breast are uncommon. They may occur as a part of generalized disease, or present as primary breast infestations, making diagnosis difficult. Clinically, they are difficult to differentiate from the more common breast pathologies. However, imaging plays an important role, and different modalities often help distinguish and diagnose these rare conditions.
