SUMMARY: BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate a phyllodes tumor of the breast with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. METHODS: MRI of the breasts was performed using a phased array double breast coil with spectroscopic capability on a 1.5T MR scanner. Post-contrast sequential imaging was done, and the subtracted images were evaluated. Timesignal intensity curves were obtained. MR spectroscopy using BREASE software was also performed. RESULTS: MRI combined with MR spectroscopy was used in the diagnosis and characterization of a phyllodes tumor of the breast. CONCLUSION: MRI and MR spectroscopy may offer an in vivo imaging technique for the characterization of phyllodes tumors of the breast.
