Abstract
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. 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.
