ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Apresentar a atualização das recomendações do Colégio Brasileiro de Radiologia e Diagnóstico por Imagem, da Sociedade Brasileira de Mastologia e da Federação Brasileira das Associações de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia para o rastreamento do câncer de mama no Brasil. Materiais e Métodos: Foram feitas buscas das evidências científicas publicadas nas bases Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, EBSCO, CINAHL e Lilacs, entre janeiro de 2012 e julho de 2022. As recomendações foram baseadas nessas evidências, mediante consenso da comissão de especialistas das três entidades. Recomendações: O rastreamento mamográfico anual é recomendado para as mulheres de risco habitual entre 40 e 74 anos. Acima de 75 anos, deve ser reservado para as que tenham expectativa de vida maior que sete anos. Mulheres com risco maior que o habitual, entre elas as com mamas densas, com história pessoal de hiperplasia lobular atípica, carcinoma lobular in situ clássico, hiperplasia ductal atípica, tratamento de câncer de mama ou de irradiação no tórax antes dos 30 anos ou, ainda, portadoras de mutação genética ou com forte história familiar, beneficiam-se do rastreamento complementar, sendo consideradas de forma individualizada. A tomossíntese é uma evolução da mamografia e deve ser considerada no rastreamento, sempre que acessível e disponível. (AU)


Objective: To present the update of the recommendations of the Brazilian College of Radiology, the Brazilian Society of Mastology and the Brazilian Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics Associations for breast cancer screening in Brazil. Materials and Methods: Scientific evidence published in Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Ebsco, Cinahl and Lilacs between January 2012 and July 2022 was searched. Recommendations were based on this evidence, by consensus of the expert committee of the three entities. Recommendations: Annual mammographic screening is recommended for women aged between 40 and 74 years old. Above 75 years should be reserved for those with a life expectancy greater than seven years. Women at higher than usual risk, including those with dense breasts, a personal history of atypical lobular hyperplasia, classic lobular carcinoma in situ, atypical ductal hyperplasia, treatment for breast câncer, chest irradiation before age 30, carriers of genetic mutation or with a strong family history, benefit from complementary screening, being considered individually. Tomosynthesis is an evolution of mammography and should be considered in screening, whenever accessible and available. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To present an update of the recommendations of the Brazilian College of Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging, the Brazilian Society of Mastology, and the Brazilian Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics Associations for breast cancer screening in Brazil. Materials and Methods: Scientific evidence published between January 2012 and July 2022 was gathered from the following databases: Medline (PubMed); Excerpta Medica (Embase); Cochrane Library; Ebsco; Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (Cinahl); and Latin-American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (Lilacs). Recommendations were based on that evidence and were arrived at by consensus of a joint committee of experts from the three entities. Recommendations: Annual mammographic screening is recommended for women between 40 and 74 years of age. For women at or above the age of 75, screening should be reserved for those with a life expectancy greater than seven years. Women at higher than average risk are considered by category: those with dense breasts; those with a personal history of atypical lobular hyperplasia, classical lobular carcinoma in situ, or atypical ductal hyperplasia; those previously treated for breast cancer; those having undergone thoracic radiotherapy before age 30; and those with a relevant genetic mutation or a strong family history. The benefits of complementary screening are also addressed according to the subcategories above. The use of tomosynthesis, which is an evolved form of mammography, should be considered in screening, whenever accessible and available.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To present the updated recommendations of the Brazilian College of Radiology and Imaging Diagnosis, the Brazilian Society of Mastology and the Brazilian Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics Associations for breast cancer screening in Brazil. Methods: Between January 2012 and July 2022, searches for scientific evidence published in MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, EBSCO, CINAHL and LILACS were carried out. The recommendations were based on this evidence, with the consensus of a committee of experts from the three institutions. Recommendations: The annual mammography screening is recommended for normal-risk patients aged between 40 and 74 years. For women aged more than 75 years, it is reserved for those whose life expectancy is longer than seven years. Women whose risk is higher than normal, such as those with dense breasts, personal history of atypical lobular hyperplasia, classic in situ lobular carcinoma, atypical ductal hyperplasia, women undergoing breast cancer treatment or thoracic irradiation before the age of 30, or those with genetic mutation or strong family history, benefit from complementary screening, being considered in an individual manner. Tomosynthesis is an evolution of mammography and should be considered in screening whenever accessible and available

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Mammography screening has been the best method for detecting early tumors and reducing breast cancer mortality according to different studies. In Brazil, the number of women who undergo mammography tests by the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) has been far below international recommendations. Objective: To describe the number of mammographies, mammography coverage, and the amount spent on this exam during 2019 by SUS, in Brazil. Method: Ecological study with data from the Department of Informatics of the Brazilian Unified Health System and the Brazilian Institute for Geography and Statistics in order to verify the number of mammographies performed by the SUS concerning the Brazilian female population in Brazil, in the age group of 50 to 69 years, in the states and in macro-regions during 2019. Results: In 2019, 2,660,469 mammographies were performed in the country out of the expected total of 12,154,979, accounting for a 21.9% mammography coverage by SUS at the cost of BRL 117,841,231.97. The lowest coverage rates were verified in the states of Amapá (0.6%) and the Federal District (4.9%), whereas the best rates were found in the states of Paraná (29.7%) and Alagoas (29.6%). Conclusions: The number of mammographies performed in Brazil in 2019 by SUS corresponded to almost » of the country's need, with mammography coverage far below the target and being widely different among the many Brazilian states.

ABSTRACT

Objective: There is no data about magnetic resonance image (MRI) impact in oncoplastic surgery (OP). The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of MRI on the surgical planning and the changes of conduct in patients with initial breast cancer and candidates to perform the OP. Methods: This is a prospective cohort of 60 patients who were candidates to OP between January 2013 and July 2014. All of them underwent to a preoperative MRI, in addition to mammography (MG) and ultrasound (US). Any additional tumor in the MRI classified as BIRADS 4-5 were biopsied or marked with carbon and radiotracer in order to be localized during the surgery. Surgical impact of additional MRI findings were evaluated as to changes of approach to mastectomy or to wider resection. Results: Of the patients, 29/60 (48.3%) had additional findings on MRI, 16/29 (55%) were multifocal tumors, 1/29 (3.4%) was multicentric, 5/29 (17%) were contralateral tumors, and 9/29 (31%) presented tumor size larger than 10 mm in the MRI. Of 22 patients who showed additional lesions on MRI, 15 (68.2%) had invasive carcinomas in the definitive anatomopathological exam. Sensibility of MRI was higher in the estimation of the tumor size. Of the patients, 12/60 (20%) underwent to mastectomy, and 17/60 (28.3%) to wider resections. Only 5% of patients had positive margins in the entire group, and in the group of patients that had additional findings on MRI only 3.4% had positive margins. Conclusions: MRI is better than MG and US in evaluating the extension of the tumor, and in the detection of multicentricity, multifocality and bilaterality. In consequence, it contributed in this series for a better surgical planning in OP with a low rate of compromised margins and re-operations.


Objetivo: Não há dados sobre o impacto da imagem de ressonância magnética (RM) na cirurgia oncoplástica. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o impacto da RM no planejamento cirúrgico e nas mudanças de conduta em pacientes com câncer de mama inicial e candidatas a realizar a cirurgia oncoplástica. Métodos: Trata-se de uma coorte prospectiva de 60 pacientes que foram candidatas à cirurgia oncoplástica entre janeiro de 2013 e julho de 2014. Todos elas foram submetidas a uma RM pré-operatória, além de mamografia (MG) e ultrassom (US). Qualquer tumor adicional na RM classificada como BIRADS 4-5 foi biopsiado ou marcado com carvão e ROLL para serem localizados durante a cirurgia. O impacto cirúrgico dos achados adicionais da RM foi avaliado quanto a mudanças para mastectomia ou ressecção mais ampla. Resultados: Das pacientes, 29/60 (48,3%) apresentaram achados adicionais na ressonância magnética, 16/29 (55%) foram tumores multifocais, 1/29 (3,4%) foi multicêntrico, 5/29 (17%) foram tumores contralaterais e 9/29 (31%) apresentaram tamanho de tumor maior que 10 mm na RM. Das 22 pacientes que apresentaram lesões adicionais na RM, 15 (68,2%) apresentaram carcinomas invasivos no exame anatomopatológico definitivo. A sensibilidade da RM foi maior na estimativa do tamanho do tumor. Das pacientes, 12/60 (20%) foram submetidas à mastectomia e 17/60 (28,3%) a ressecções mais amplas. Apenas 5% das pacientes apresentaram margens positivas em todo o grupo. No grupo de pacientes que apresentaram resultados adicionais na RM, apenas 3,4% tiveram margens positivas. Conclusões: A RM é melhor que a MG e o US na avaliação da extensão do tumor e na detecção de tumores multicêntricos, multifocais e bilaterais. Em consequência, contribuiu nesta série para um melhor planejamento cirúrgico na cirurgia oncoplástica com baixa taxa de margens comprometidas e reexcisão.

ABSTRACT

Os autores descrevem o caso de uma gestante encaminhada por apresentar massa anexial. A ultra-sonografia demonstrou volumosa lesão sólido-cística sugestiva de neoplasia ovariana. A ressonância magnética mostrou que a lesão era recoberta pela serosa uterina, sugerindo mioma degenerado. O correto diagnóstico das massas pélvicas na gestação é fundamental para o estabelecimento da terapêutica. A ressonância magnética traz importantes contribuições no diagnóstico dessas entidades.


The authors describe the case of a pregnant woman referred to the institution to be evaluated for an adnexal mass. Ultrasonography showed a voluminous solid-cystic lesion suggestive of ovarian neoplasm. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated that the lesion was located within the uterine serosa, suggesting the presence of a degenerated leiomyoma. A correct diagnosis of pelvic masses in pregnancy is essential for the definition of a therapeutic approach. Magnetic resonance imaging represents a relevant tool in the diagnosis of these abnormalities.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar as alterações endometriais por meio da ultra-sonografia transvaginal e correlacioná-las com os achados da histeroscopia e histologia, em pacientes submetidas a tratamento com tamoxifeno. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: No período de janeiro de 2003 a dezembro de 2005, foram incluídas pacientes com câncer de mama usuárias de tamoxifeno que apresentaram espessamento endometrial acima de 5 mm. Os achados foram correlacionados com os dados de histeroscopia e anatomopatologia. RESULTADOS: Foram selecionadas 25 pacientes com idade média de 62,6 anos. O tempo médio do diagnóstico do câncer foi de 4,3 anos e do uso de tamoxifeno, três anos. Vinte pacientes eram assintomáticas (80 por cento) e as demais apresentaram sangramento (20 por cento). À ultra-sonografia, 16 por cento apresentaram espessamento endometrial entre 5 mm e 8 mm, 40 por cento entre 9 mm e 15 mm, e 44 por cento acima de 15 mm. Ao estudo com a histeroscopia, 40 por cento apresentaram atrofia, 16 por cento atrofia cística, 28 por cento pólipos, e 16 por cento lesão hiperplásica. O estudo anatomopatológico apresentou-se normal em 35,2 por cento dos casos e mostrou atrofia em 5,8 por cento, pólipo em 29,4 por cento e hiperplasia em 11,7 por cento. Foi observado um caso de adenocarcinoma (5,8 por cento). CONCLUSÃO: A ultra-sonografia associada à histeroscopia apresentam-se como importantes aliados na avaliação de pacientes usuárias de tamoxifeno. A detecção de espessamento endometrial à ultra-sonografia apresenta baixa especificidade, enquanto a histeroscopia é mais acurada na detecção de pólipos, hiperplasia e alterações neoplásicas.


OBJECTIVE: To evaluate endometrial alterations by means of transvaginal ultrasound and to correlate them with hysteroscopic and histological findings in patients under tamoxifen therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study was developed in the period between January 2003 and December 2005, including patients under tamoxifen therapy for breast cancer, and presenting with endometrial thickening > 5 mm. The sonographic findings were correlated with hysteroscopic and anatomopathological results. RESULTS: Twenty-five patients, mean age 62.6 years, were selected. The mean time elapsed from the diagnosis of cancer was 4.3 years, and use of tamoxifen, three years. Twenty patients (80 percent) were asymptomatic, and five (20 percent) presented with bleeding. Ultrasound showed that 16 percent of patients had endometrial thickening ranging between 5 mm and 8 mm, 40 percent between 9 mm and 15 mm, and 44 percent above 15 mm. Hysteroscopy showed 40 percent of patients with atrophy, 16 percent with cystic atrophy, 28 percent with polyps and 16 percent with hyperplastic lesion. Anatomopathological study showed 35.2 percent of patients with normal results, 5.8 percent with atrophy, 29.4 percent with polyps and 11.7 percent with hyperplasia. One case of adenocarcinoma (5.8 percent) was observed. CONCLUSION: Combined ultrasound and hysteroscopy have proven to be important allies in the evaluation of patients under tamoxifen therapy. Ultrasonography presents low specificity for detecting endometrial thickening, while hysteroscopy is more accurate in the detection of polyps, hyperplasia and neoplastic alterations.

ABSTRACT

O tumor de células gigantes é uma neoplasia rara e representa 5% dos tumores ósseos primários. Acomete com maior freqüência joelho e punho, sendo raro em pequenos ossos do pé. Os autores apresentam um paciente do sexo masculino, 32 anos de idade, há quatro meses com dor no pé direito. A radiografia simples demonstrou lesão osteolítica e insuflante acometendo o primeiro metatarso do pé direito. A tomografia computadorizada revelou lesão radiolucente com bordas bem definidas. Foi realizada biópsia da lesão, cujo estudo histológico definiu o diagnóstico de tumor de células gigantes. Os autores enfatizam a correlação entre os achados de imagem e a histologia.


Giant cell tumor of bone is a rare neoplasm and account for 5% of all primary bone tumors. It is common in the knee and wrist, but rare in the small bones of the foot. The authors report a 32-yearold male patient presented with a four-month history of right foot pain. Plain radiographs showed an expansive lytic lesion involving the first right metatarsal bone. Computed tomography scan demonstrated a radiolucent lesion with well-defined borders. Biopsy was performed and the histological diagnostic was giant cell tumor. The authors emphasize the correlation between the imaging and histological findings.

ABSTRACT

As neoplasias mediastinais de origem mesenquimal são raras, representando menos de 6 por cento dos casos. A maioria são lipossarcomas, apesar da aparência cística ser incomum. Os autores apresentam um caso de paciente feminina com 58 anos de idade, com queixa de dispnéia, com piora progressiva desde os 52 anos. Estridor laríngeo era auscultado durante o exame físico, e a tomografia computadorizada de tórax demonstrou uma lesão cística no mediastino posterior. O tumor foi ressecado e o estudo histológico definiu o diagnóstico de lipossarcoma mixóide.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo propôs-se a revisar os aspectos relevantes da anatomia, técnica de exame e achados de imagens, com o objetivo de auxiliar o radiologista no diagnóstico diferencial frente às afecções músculo-tendinosas do ombro. Foram realizadas 34 ultra-sonografias da região do ombro, no período de janeiro a dezembro de 2001. A avaliação foi realizada com transdutores de alta freqüência (7,5-10 MHz). O exame foi normal em 23 por cento dos pacientes (oito casos). Dos 26 casos alterados, observaram-se oito com ruptura total (30 por cento), cinco com ruptura parcial (19 por cento), dez com tendinopatia (38 por cento), um com tendinopatia calcificada (3 por cento), um com tenossinovite bicipital (3 por cento) e um com tendinopatia associada a artrite gotosa (3 por cento). A falta de experiência e de conhecimento das principais alterações que acometem o ombro é um dos principais pontos limitantes do diagnóstico ultra-sonográfico das lesões do ombro. Portanto, o estudo dessas alterações deve ser realizado amplamente.


The purpose of this study is to review the anatomical structures, ultrasonography examination technique and imaging findings in patients with musculotendinous lesions of the shoulder with the aim of helping the radiologist in the differential diagnosis of these lesions. We performed ultrasonography examinations of the shoulder using high-resolution probes (7.5–10 MHz) in 34 patients from January to December, 2001. The examination was normal in eight patients (23%) whereas 26 patients presented abnormalities: eight patients had total rotator cuff tears (30%), five had partial rotator cuff (19%), ten had tendinopathy (38%), one had calcified tendinopathy (3%), one had biceps tendinitis, one had biceps tendon luxation (3%) and one had tendinopathy associated to crystal arthropathy (3%). The lack of experience and the insufficient knowledge about the main diseases of the shoulder are limiting factors for the diagnosis of these lesions. Therefore, a comprehensive study of the abnormalities of the shoulder should be carried out.
