Papillary breast lesions detected using conventional ultrasound and contrast- enhanced ultrasound: Imaging characteristics and associations with malignancy
European Journal of Radiology May 26, 2021
Niu RL, Li SY, Wang B, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate the imaging features of papillary breast lesions detected using conventional ultrasonography (US) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and to compare the pathological results. Researchers further explored the diagnostic efficiencies of these imaging features to predict the malignancy potential of papillary lesions. They retrospectively evaluated findings of the conventional US and CEUS of 74 consecutive papillary breast lesions. Using univariate and multivariate logistic regressions, the obtained data were examined to assess the ability of each parameter and combined parameters in distinguishing the benign and atypical or malignant papillary lesions. The outcomes imply that the imaging features on conventional US and CEUS could help in distinguishing benign and malignant papillary lesions and predict their malignancy potential.
