The goals of the exhibit are: 1. To present and discuss the contributing factors in missed retro-areolar cancers on ultrasound 2. To describe technical challenges, and propose management tips 3. To review the spectrum of retro-areolar lesions

1. Technical challenges of retro-arealar lesions: due to lesion position, lesion size 2. Management tips for challenging lesions: frequency, Doppler, elastography 3. Radio-pathologic correlation examples with management recommendations 4. False negatives: how to identify and prevent them US is an essential tool of the breast imager yet the technique remains challenging and imperfect to explore retro-areolar lesions. Challenges include technical considerations related to scanning adequately. Through various examples using Doppler, elastography, this exhibit will offer practical tips to the radiologists as well as propose evidence-based algorithms for the diagnosis of retro-areolar lesions.
