Sclerosing Adenosis:Radiographic Diagnosis and Pathology / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To improve the knowledge of mammographic signs of sclerosing adenosis.Methods The X-ray and pathological features of sclerosing adenosis of 17 focuses in 15 cases proved by histology were reviewed in comparison with that of breast cancer.The study was put emphasis upon the difference between sclerosing adenosis and breast cancer on clinic and radiographs.Results On mammography,the lesions appeared as asymmetric and disseminated density in 5/17(29.4%),dense nodules in 10/17(58.8%),calcifications inside the lesions in 3 and focal architectural disorder combined with stellate constriction in 2/17(11.8%).Conclusion The sclerosing adenosis is easily confused with breast carcinoma on radiographic signs,the diagnosis would be combined with clinical history and palpation examination.
