ABSTRACT
AIMS:
The aims of this study were to investigate the ultrasound features of non-mass-type ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast and conduct a pathological analysis. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Ultrasound images of 32 cases of non-mass-type DCIS of the breast, collected between September 2014 and June 2016, were analyzed. The characteristics of the lesions, including border, internal echogenicity, local glandular hyperplasia, micro-calcification, and intra-tumoral blood flow resistance index (RI), were analyzed, and a concurrent pathological analysis was conducted.RESULTS:
Obvious local glandular hyperplasia was commonly observed in the 32 cases of non-mass-type DCIS of the breast. The internal echogenicity varied in intensity, exhibiting a "leopard pattern" or "zebra pattern." Color Doppler imaging revealed abundant blood flow signals within the lesion with an RI of >0.7. Isolated duct dilatation and micro-calcifications were occasionally observed within the lesions. High-grade DCIS was the predominant pathological type of non-mass-type DCIS.CONCLUSIONS:
Non-mass-type DCIS of the breast often presents with obvious local glandular hyperplasia and varying internal echogenicity. High-grade DCIS is the frequent pathological type. Color Doppler imaging and RI measurement can assist in diagnosing non-mass-type DCIS of the breast.
