Figure 1.
Figure 1. Chest CT (on Setpember 14, 2012): local soft tissues of the left breast were absent and the local skin incrassation was obvious. Subcutaneous irregular soft tissue density image was seen, the border of which with the residual mammary tissue was unclear and stretched inwards the muscle tissues and costal cartilages without definite damage in local rib sclerotin.
Figure 2.
Figure 2. Chest wall Color Doppler ultrasound (on September 6, 2013): multiple flaky echoless region was observed below the incision of the left chest wall with the size of about 3.9 × 0.8 cm.
Figure 3.
Figure 3. Chest CT (on December 19, 2013): irregular low-density lesions were seen in front of sternum with the maximum cross-section of 4.3 × 2.9 cm. The border with the incrassated skin and the chest wall were not clear and the bone destruction was found in the sternum and the left fifth rib with the vague edge seen in part of costal cartilages.

Figure 4. Breast color Doppler ultrasound (on September 17, 2014): a 2.1 × 2.0 cm cyst-solid space-occupying lesion was seen near to the nipple in the 9 o’clock direction of the right breast with the clear border and irregular form. Furthermore, the blood flow signal was found with the BI-RADS grading of 4a.
Figure 5.
Figure 5. Breast MRI (on September 19, 2014): one about 2.3 × 1.8 × 2.8 cm abnormal signal image with the irregular form was observed in the outer quadrant of the right breast with the equal T1 and long T2 signals. The border was unclear with the burr at the margin. The near skin incrassated and the nipple was inverted. What’s more, the border of local lesion with the pectoralis major was unclear. SI-TIME curve: the curve in the high-signal area of the lesion featured type II.
