To investigate the clinical value of ultrasonography in the early diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast.
Methods:
A total of 56 cases of breast DCIS hospitalized in The 174th Hospital of Chinese PLA from Aug. 2015 to Mar. 2017 were selected. All the patients underwent ultrasound examination. The data were retrospectively analyzed to investigate the diagnostic value of ultrasonography.
Results:
The detection rate of ultrasound was 51.79%
with mass type in 16 cases (28.57%)
hyperplastic type in 21 cases (37.50%)
ductal type in 15 cases (26.79%)
and simple microcalcification type in 4 cases (7.14%).
Conclusion:
As a n
oninvasive and repeatable examination in short term
ultrasonography has high value in the early diagnosis of DCIS. But the ultrasonographic features of DCIS are easily confused with those of breast benign diseases
so ultrasonography should be combined with multiple means to improve the accuracy of diagnosis.
