ABSTRACT
Purpose:To study the value of high frequency color doppler ultrasound diagnosis for breast intraductal papilloma.Methods:50 patients with breast intraductal papilloma,all confirmed by surgical and pathology,and examined by ultrasound before surgery,all had symptoms of excreting blood or liquid from nipple or palpable mass. The probe were placed on the surface of the breast to scan radially from nipple,after finding the enlarged duct,try to detect the neoplasm in it carefully. The two dimensional images were observed and the color Doppler flow codes were detected.Results:The detection rate and the diagnostic accuracy rate of breast intraductal papilloma by ultrasound are 62.0% and 38.0% respectively,ultrasonography is better than mammography and near infrared light scanning.The images were divided into four types:one type of no unusual finding(7 cases),one type of finding both the enlarged duct and the tumor(19 cases),one type of finding the enlarged duct only(12 cases),one type of finding the tumor only(12 cases),the images of the type of finding both the enlarged duct and the tumor are typical. The detection rate of flow by color doppler ultrasound is low(5/50).Conclusions:The high frequency color doppler ultrasound is valuable in diagnosis of breast intraductal papilloma,and the special symptom ,the accurate detection method and the typical images are the key of ultrasound diagnosis.
