Fig. 1C —64-year-old woman with complex fibroadenoma. Histopathology of core
needle biopsy reveals complex fibroadenoma with epithelial calcifications

was upgraded to invasive lobular carcinoma.

Fig. 2 —Sonography of left breast in 42-year-old woman reveals round,
circumscribed hypoechoic lesion (arrow). This lesion was first seen 2
years earlier, with histopathology showing complex fibroadenoma at core needle
biopsy. Because of increase in size during this follow-up interval, excisional
biopsy was performed, revealing benign phyllodes tumor.
