OBJECTIVE: We describe for the first time (to our knowledge) the mammographic appearance of breast cancer and breast density in carriers of the breast cancer gene BRCA1. CONCLUSION: The mammographic appearance of breast cancer in BRCA1 carriers was similar to that in the general population. All mammographic densities were observed. Appropriate mammographic management of these extremely high-risk patients is yet to be determined.
