Ultrasonic characteristic analysis of non-lactation mastitis / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze and summarize the characteristics of ultrasonographic images of non-lactating mastitis, improve the diagnostic accuracy, and guide the clinical treatment.Methods:The ultrasonic images of 46 patients with non lactation mastitis diagnosed by pathology in People′s Hospital of Heyuan from January 2017 to November 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The ultrasonic images were compared with the pathological results, and the ultrasonic characteristics of non lactation mastitis were analyzed.Results:Among the 46 cases of non lactation mastitis, there were 24 cases of chronic mastitis, 15 cases of granulomatous lobular mastitis, 5 cases of plasma cell mastitis and 2 cases of lymphocytic lobulitis. The ultrasonographic features of non lactation mastitis were patchy hypoechoic mixed with anechoic areas with poor sound transmission. Granulomatous lobular mastitis was easy to be misdiagnosed as malignant lesions because of its disordered echo.Conclusions:Mastering the ultrasound characteristics of non-lactation mastitis can help to improve the accuracy of diagnosis of non-lactation mastitis.
