ABSTRACT
Mammography is an effective tool in detecting suspicious breast lesions. However, like any method, it is not perfect. In mammography, we obtain 2D images that show superimposed tissues. Many times, this causes problems in differentiating truly suspicious densities from apparent lesions resulting from superimposition of glandular tissue from several sites. This case report aims to demonstrate the usefulness of digital tomosynthesis in differentiating densities of unclear nature.
