Figure 10. Ultrasonographic features of the Complex Type in GLM (coexistence of multiple stages). (A) shows a hypoechoic nodule located posterior to the nipple (N), with indistinct margins and angular contours. Several dilated ducts are visible surrounding the lesion (bold arrows); (B) demonstrates multiple hypoechoic ducts around the mass with luminal obliteration and thickening of both the ductal walls and surrounding tissues (thin arrows).
