A single-institution study of 117 pregnancy-associated breast cancers (PABC): Presentation, imaging, clinicopathological data and outcome

PABC is an uncommon but aggressive form of breast cancer and must be considered in the presence of any breast abnormality during pregnancy or the months following delivery. Mammography and ultrasound should both be performed at the slightest clinical suspicion. Radiologists must be aware that masses may lack typical malignant ultrasound characteristics. Biopsies should be largely performed.
