We present a case of a 47 year-old woman with a history of synchronous bilateral breast cancer with different radiology findings. This woman has a familial history as one of the primary risk factors. Breast imaging was performed on mammogram, breast ultrasound, and magnetic resonance. These modalities have their own advantages and disadvantages. Ultrasound guided core needle biopsy of left lesions that revealed invasive ductal cell carcinoma. In addition, stereotactic vacuum-assisted breast biopsy of the right breast microcalcification revealed malignant calcification and comedo necrosis. However, the signs of invasive ductal cell carcinoma were not obtained.
