Magnetic resonance image of patient in 2014. Vitamin marker E overlies the left upper breast and shows the site of the prior lumpectomy. The red arrow (superimposed on vitamin E marker) indicates the area of subtle architectural distortion without abnormal enhancement. (B) Magnetic resonance image from 2016 with a 0.6 cm area of subcutaneous enhancement that is contiguous with the postsurgical scar.
