Zirkuszelt-Zeichen (Mammographie)

The tent sign is a term referring to a characteristic appearance of the posterior edge of the breast parenchyma when a mass (usually an infiltrating lesion) causes its retraction and forms an inverted "V" that resembles the tip of a circus tent.

The detection of a "tent sign" is facilitated by the systematic reading of mammograms with the technique of masking.
