To illustrate the radiologic findings (mammogram, US and MR) in normal anatomy and breast lesions involving the areola-nipple area, providing clinical images and pathologic correlation To emphasize pitfalls, diagnostic difficulties and differential diagnosis To discuss the appropriate management of those lesions  

We present a pictorial essay of the areola-nipple area, including clinical and imaging findings. We illustrate among other entities : -Normal anatomy -Size:Hipoplasia; Number:Accesory nipple; Morphology:umbilicated, inversion -Skin lesions:calcification,epidermal inclusion cyst, malignant:Paget´s disease -Duct ectasia .Inflammatory lesions: galactophoritis, abscess -Nipple Tumors: Adenoma, Papilloma -Breast tumors: apocrine carcinoma, infiltrating and non-infiltrating carcinoma

The main teaching points of the exhibit are: To  be familiar with the broad spectrum of clinical and imaging findings in a heterogeneous group of lesions appearing in the areola-nipple area of the breast, most of them clinically striking To learn the special management required for characterization of those lesions
