Oil cysts are benign breast masses. Mammographically, oil cysts typically appear as well defined, round or ovoid masses, often with a calcified rim (eggshell calcification).
Sonographically, oil cysts may present in a variety of ways. Most cysts are anechoic or hypoechoic with a variable degree of posterior shadowing or acustic enhancement with a thin capsule. However, oil cysts presenting with mural nodules may rarely mimic intracystic neoplasm and ultrasound cannot characterize the masses as benign.
Mammograms which demonstrate the fatty content are diagnostic.
