Abstract
We report a 44-year-old patient with right-breast morphea. Mammography, MRI and needle biopsy were used for assessment of the case. Mammography demonstrated thickening of the skin and the subcutaneous tissue. The MRI showed replacement of the subcutaneous and breast fat by a low signal intensity, non-enhancing tissue. Skin biopsy confirmed the histological features of scleroderma.
