To identify the histopathologic components of breast cancer including calcification, hemorrhage, necrosis, edema, mucin, fibrosis To review the radiologic findings of each histopathologic components of breast cancer To correlate the radiologic findings with histopathology  

1. Pathophysiology of histopathologic components 2. Radiologic findings, including mammography, US, and MRI of each histopathologic components of breast cancer with pathologic correlation 3. Discussion about radiological differential diagnosis using histopathologic components  

Breast cancer is heterogeneous disease. Besides the cancer nest, breast cancer contains many histopathologic components including calcification, hemorrhage, necrosis, edema, mucin and fibrosis. In this exhibit, we have shown the radiologic findings of these histopathologic components of breast cancer with pathologic correlation. Identifying the radiologic findings of histopathologic components with understanding its pathophysiology is useful for differential diagnosis for breast cancer, including DCIS and some special types.
