1. Giant (5 cm and larger) breast masses pose diagnostic challenges as their large size may not permit optimal imaging by mammography or ultrasound. Additional cross-sectional imaging modalities such as MRI and CT may help to fully image and further characterize these masses. 2. Clinical and imaging findings which may prompt the radiologist to suspect malignancy. 3. Treatment of these giant breast masses varies and may be complex, depending on the histopathology and size.  

1. Classification and differential diagnosis of giant breast masses. 2. Differentiating malignant versus benign giant breast masses: clinical presentations and imaging features. 3. Case presentations of giant breast masses including patient demographics, clinical presentation, multimodality imaging, histopathology, and treatment.
