Abstract
OBJECTIVE. Historically, management recommendations for multiple bilateral circumscribed breast masses encountered with breast imaging have varied. This article reviews the evidence and provides best-practice recommendations for managing these masses. CONCLUSION. Meticulous imaging technique and interpretation are required to correctly diagnose multiple bilateral circumscribed breast masses. Radiologists should classify such masses identified at mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis, or bilateral wholebreast sonography as benign and recommend annual follow-up. Elucidating the significance of these masses on MRI, contrast-enhanced mammography, or nuclear breast imaging requires further study.
