An example from the study of a 60-year-old woman presented for screening mammography nine weeks after receiving her second dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. (A) Mediolateral oblique view of the left breast demonstrates an irregular mass in the superior left breast (dash arrow) and a dense lymph node in the left axilla that is incompletely visualized (arrow). Sonography demonstrates (B) an irregular hypoechoic mass in the breast (arrow) that corresponded to the mammographic finding and (C) a lymph node with eccentric cortical thickening measuring 6 mm (arrow) in the axilla. Biopsy of the mass yielded invasive ductal carcinoma and biopsy of the lymph node yielded metastatic carcinoma. Image courtesy of RSNA
