  		Fig. 1A —47-year-old woman with leiomyoma of breast parenchyma. Mammogram (A) and sonogram (B) at time of patient's first visit in 2001. Craniocaudal mammogram shows well-circumscribed dense mass in parenchyma of medial half of left breast. On sonography, mass appears oval, hypoechoic, and well-circumscribed, all of which suggest fibroadenoma. There was no acoustic enhancement.
