Fig. 1B —41-year-old woman with painless palpable mass in left breast.
Orthogonal sonograms show irregularly shaped, mixed hyper- and hypoechoic
lesion (arrows) in left breast. Surgery confirmed intermediate grade
papillary ductal carcinoma in situ.

Fig. 2D —Asymptomatic 44-year-old woman with micropapillary ductal
carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Sonogram shows associated duct dilatation and
nodular wall thickening (arrows) in subareolar area of right breast.
At surgery, these dilated ducts with intraductal nodules were also involved by
DCIS.

Fig. 3B —Asymptomatic 58-year-old woman with intermediate-grade ductal
carcinoma in situ. Sonograms show relatively circumscribed, oval, hypoechoic
mass (arrows) with clustered microcalcifications and posterior
acoustic shadowing (arrowhead, C) in left breast. Power
Doppler study shows no increased vascularity in mass.
