To assess the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in differential diagnosis of malignant papillary lesions and other malignant lesions of the breas
t.
Methods:
A total of 590 patients with malignant breast lesions were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent breast MRI and confirmed by pathological examination. The MRI findings were categorized according to Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 2013 edition. Time-signal intensity curve (TIC) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were achieved from the 1.5T Siemens MAGNETOM Aera workstation
which were used in differential diagnosis of breast lesions.
Results:
The malignant papillary lesions tended to present as non-mass enhancement
and the other malignant lesions tended to present as mass. Malignant papillary lesions tended to locate in the retroareolar regions more than those in other malignant group. All the malignancies tend to appear irregular shaped
1-5 cm in diameter
heterogeneous enhanced. In the non-mass enhancement lesions
malignant papillary lesions tended to appear segmental distribution
other malignant lesions tended to appear regional or diffuse distribution. Ductal dilation was more common in malignant papillary lesions than other malignant lesions. The solitary proportion <25% is more common in malignant papillary lesions than the other malignant lesions. All the malignant lesions tend to appear wash-out curve. Mean ADC was [(0.940.23)10

Conclusion:
The location of the mass
the distribution of the non-mass enhancement
ductal dilation
solid proportion and ADC values which have differential diagnosis of malignant papillary lesions and the other malignancies.
