To investigate the ultrasonographic features of solid papillary carcinoma (SPC) of the breast and differential diagnosis from intraductal papilloma of the breast (BIDP).
Methods:
The ultrasonographic features and clinical manifestations of 65 patients with SPC and 77 patients with BIDP confirmed by pathology in the First Affiliated Hospital of NJMU from January 20
15 to March 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Differential diagnosis was performed.
Results:
There were significant differences in age
lesion type
distance from the nipple
size
uniformity of the echo
axillary lymph node metastasis
Breast Imaging Report and Data System (BI-RADS) grades between SPC and BIDP(
P
<0.05). Compared with BIDP
the majority of SPC patients showed the older age
single solid mass
higher palpation rate
longer distance from the nipple
larger size
nonuniformity of the echo
axillary lymph node metastasis and higher probability of BI-RADS 4. There were no significant differences in echo
edge
shape
orientation
calcification
posterior echo
Adler
resistance index (RI) or duct expansion (
P
>0.05).
Conclusion:
SPC has certain ultrasonographic features. Combing with the age
medical history and clinical manifestations of the patient are helpful in differential diagnosis SPC from BIDP.
