Urgent and emergent breast lesions - A primer for the general radiologist, on-call resident and sonographer.

ABSTRACT

There are very few true breast emergencies. While infrequent, women do present to emergency departments or urgent care centres with breast-related concerns. In this case-based review, both common and uncommon urgent and emergent breast lesions are presented, emphasising ultrasound characteristics and imaging optimisation to improve accurate diagnosis and appropriate recommendations.
