<b>Mammography</b>
is a special X-ray technique used for detecting breast lesions.
LMS can metastasize to breast tissue, or appear there as a primary tumor. Mammography is the imaging of choice for breast lesions, with ultrasound an additional choice if abnormality is found. Even though the breasts may be included in a chest CT, CT is not the preferred choice for imaging in soft tissues because it doesn't show up the tumors well.

Even if you are clear of LMS tumor on scans, do not forget to have your scheduled mammograms. <b> 7.5% of LMS patients develop a second primary cancer.
