Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic multisystemic inflammatory disease that may exceptionally involve the breast and can have imaging features suspicious for benign or malignant lesions. Biopsy should be required to distinguish between breast sarcoidosis and malignancy, because clinical, mammographic and sonographic findings can be ambiguous or inconclusive. This case discusses the radiological manifestations and the value of different diagnostic features, and names the most relevant differential diagnosis.
