We present a case with imaging artefacts on mammography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) caused by iron oxide particles. After being diagnosed with the medullary cancer of the breast, the female patient had a breast conserving surgery on right breast. Iron oxide particles were used for the detection of the sentinel lymph node during operation. On follow ups, a de novo density on mammography, which was initially thought to be a new tumour, was found. MR images proved that the lesion is an artefact caused by iron oxide accumulation. Our aim in this case study is to underline and discuss the imaging artefacts caused by these particles and raise awareness.
我们报告一例因氧化铁颗粒导致乳腺钼靶摄影和磁共振成像（MRI）出现影像伪影的病例。该女性患者被诊断为乳腺髓样癌后，接受了右乳保乳手术。术中使用氧化铁颗粒检测前哨淋巴结。在随访过程中，发现乳腺钼靶摄影出现了一个新的密度影，最初被认为是新肿瘤。磁共振图像证实该病变是由氧化铁积聚引起的伪影。我们在本病例研究中的目的是强调和讨论这些颗粒引起的影像伪影并提高认识。
