  Carcinoma arising within a fibroadenoma is a rare entity. However, fibroadenomas are fairly common, and can arise in young women. A clinical dilemma arises as how to detect early malignant change, with the aim that early detection can result in curative therapy. Most published articles emphasize on pathologic findings, and not radiological findings of this entity. We report a series of four cases of carcinoma and high risk lesions found within fibroadenomas encountered over a five year period, with emphasis on mammographic and ultrasound findings, with pathologic correlation, taken from archived files from a single institution. We aimed to evaluate the radiology features, and determine if there are any unique radiological findings, which are unique to these high risk lesions.
