Supernumerary breast masquerading as metastasis on serial 67Ga scan

Clin Nucl Med. 2013 Jan;38(1):70-3. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0b013e318270875b.

Abstract

We report the incidental discovery of supernumerary breast changes on sequential ⁶⁷Ga scans in a woman with dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans excised 5 years before. The appearance of the accessory breast fluctuated with physiological ⁶⁷Ga uptake of the breast tissue was evident. Awareness of the concomitant changes in accessory breast with breast tissue could help narrow the differential diagnosis.
