Abstract

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, previously known as nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy, is a multiorgan sclerotic disorder that is strongly linked to the administration of gadolinium-based chelates used for intravenous contrast in magnetic resonance imaging procedures. Although involvement of truncal skin is a relatively common, few reports of its appearance on mammography exist in the literature.
