Index lesion (red circle; right SIQ, 27 mm), already documented with ultrasound. MRI leads to the detection of multifocal and multicentric disease, confirmed to US second look and biopsy (yellow circles: right SIQ, 6mm; right SEQ, 11mm; right CEQ, 10 mm; right CEQ dx, 11 mm; right CEQ dx, 5mm). Subcentimetric mass enhancement in the left breast resulted as negative to US second look. SEQ: Superior External Quadrant; SIQ: Superior Internal Quadrant; CEQ: Central External Quadrant.
