This study was to analyze and compare the different morphological appearances and kinetic features between ILC and IDC, using the features defined in ACR BI-RADS MRI lexicon. ILC displayed more diverse morphological appearances than IDC. The non-mass-like enhancement patterns were higher in ILC than IDC (7/29 vs. 1/30). Regarding kinetic features, ILC had a higher possibility showing moderate or slow early enhancement phase than IDC (9/35 versus 1/35). While 91% IDC (32/35) demonstrated the typical malignant kinetic pattern with fast early enhancement and wash-out in the delayed phase, this pattern was only seen in 51% ILC (18/35).
