To retrospectively study the performance of pure breast ductal carcinoma
in situ
(DCIS) and invasive ductal carcinoma accompanied by DCIS on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS).
Methods:
A total of 261 patients received pre-surgical CEUS
and 14 pure DCIS (group A) and 29 mixed patients were selected. The 29 mixed patients were further divided into two groups according to the DCIS component proportion: proportion20% (14 cases
group B)
proportion<20% (15 cases
group C). Then CEUS analysis was conducted.
Results:
The pure DCIS was characterized by the edge to central perfusion with high intensity
and vascular perfusion in some peripheral areas with ring enhancement sometimes. Group A had a larger area
under the curve and a steeper ascending slope compared with group B.
Conclusion:
The CEUS manifestations of pure DCIS and invasive ductal carcinoma accompanied by DCIS are some what different about the characteristics.
