Fibrocystic change is a benign, clinically important entity due to its high prevalence, and it mostly affects premenopausal women aged 20–49 years old. Since MRI is increasingly used to screen young high-risk women, false-positive results may be common because of the high incidence of FCC seen in this age group. 39%) showing Breast fibrocystic changes (FCC) are a common finding, afecting over half of women between 20 and 50 years-old [1].

Imaging presentations of focal FCC are not well known. This study aimed to analyze its MR imaging fea-tures. Eleven patients of pathology-proven focal FCC were retrospectively studied Fibrocystic disease can refer to a range of clinical and imaging findings that may be asymptomatic, or may present as a breast lump or area of localised nodularity, or an area of change on imaging. On mammography, fibrocystic change may be seen as a localised density or an area of microcalcification. Ultrasound may demonstrate a focal area of Fibrocystic change occurs in up to 90% of women to a varying degree. It was previously known as fibrocystic disease but as it is a normal variant, is no longer considered to be a disease. It is an exaggerated response of the breast tissue to hormones and growth factors circulating in the body. This results in the formation of both small and large cysts,

Fibrocystic breast changes is a condition of the breasts where there may be pain, breast cysts, and breast masses. The breasts may be described as "lumpy" or "doughy". Symptoms may worsen during certain parts of the menstrual cycle due to hormonal stimulation. These are normal breast changes, not associated with cancer.. Risk factors Fibrocystic: [ fi″bro-sis´tik ] characterized by an overgrowth of fibrous tissue and the development of cystic spaces, especially in a gland. fibrocystic disease of breast a disorder characterized by single or multiple benign tumors in the breast; it is the most common disorder of premenopausal women between the ages of 30 and 55, has a The edition of ICDCM N became effective on October 1, This is the American ICDCM version of N - other international versions of ICD N may differ. ICDCM Coding Rules. N is applicable to adult patients aged 15 - years inclusive The mean diameter of the juxtaarticular fibrocystic changes was 5 mm (range, 3–15 mm); smaller lesions were more prevalent. Dynamic MR imaging with the hip flexed and intraoperative observations revealed a close spatial relationship between the region of the fibrocystic changes at the anterosuperior femoral neck and the acetabular
