INTRODUCTION
• Breast diseases : variety of conditions .
• Benign or Malignant.
• Most common presentation: a palpable lump.
![Page 6: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
ROLE OF IMAGING IN DIAG.
• For patients attending breast clinics with symptoms of breast disease, mainstay of diagnosis is triple assessment.
• Imaging plays an important role in the evaluation of breast diseases.
![Page 7: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
ROLE OF IMAGING IN DIAG.
• Accurate imaging is vital: -Identify cancers-Avoid false positives-Avoid False negatives
![Page 8: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ROLE OF IMAGING IN DIAG.
• The principal imaging modalities: mammography and ultrasound.
• Sensitivity of mammography alone = 45-90% (age, parity and breast density).
• Sensitivity of ultrasound = 80-90%.
![Page 9: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
ROLE OF IMAGING IN DIAG.
• The Royal College of Radiologists and the American College of Radiology guidelines:
• <35years, USS• >35years, Mammo.
![Page 10: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ROLE OF IMAGING IN DIAG.
• Also, ultrasound an adjunct to mammo in patients of all ages.
• Mammography: masses, assessment of calcifications and other features which raise suspicion of breast cancer.
![Page 11: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ROLE OF IMAGING IN DIAG.
• USS method of choice in differentiating between cystic and solid lesions and in providing guidance for interventional procedures.

BREAST ABSCESS• Relatively common complication of mastitis.
• May occur during breastfeeding, particularly in primiparous women.
• Clinical context is key to diagnosis as imaging appearances (particularly ultrasound) can mimic many other entities such as breast carcinoma.
![Page 76: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
BREAST ABSCESS
• The predominant infectious organism: Staphylococcus aureus, often the penicillinase-producing type.
• Other common types include Staphylococcus epidermidis and Proteus mirabilis.
![Page 77: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
BREAST ABSCESS• Classification:
Puerperal abscesses: seen in primiparous mothers.
Non-puerperal central abscesses: commonest non-breastfeeding abscess.
• Seen mostly in young women; especially smokers.
![Page 78: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
BREAST ABSCESS• Classification:Non-puerperal peripheral abscesses: less
commonly seen. • Seen in older women with underlying chronic
medical conditions like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis; women taking steroids or underwent a recent breast intervention
![Page 79: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
BREAST ABSCESS• Ultrasound considered most useful initial
imaging modality when a breast abscess is suspected.
• Imaging method of choice to monitor progress, response to therapy and to ensure resolution.
![Page 80: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
BREAST ABSCESS• For the purpose of follow up 3-D
measurement of the abscess and the volume should be given.
![Page 81: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
BREAST ABSCESS• Sonographic features suggestive of a breast
abscess include:
Hypoechoic collection, mostly multiloculated with no vascularity within the collection.
Posterior acoustic enhancement due to fluid content.
Echogenic, vascular rim.Axillary lymphadenopathy
![Page 82: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
BREAST ABSCESS
• On ultrasound, breast abscess can easily mimic other entities such as a breast malignancy or a breast haematoma on imaging grounds alone.
• In practice, the most difficult differentiation is from a galactocoele.
![Page 83: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
BREAST ABSCESS
• Mammography is very rarely indicated or useful.
• Mammography is recommended to exclude the possibility of malignancy in non-puerperal abscesses, in ladies over 30 years and in puerperal abscesses with a prolonged clinical course.
![Page 84: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
BREAST ABSCESS• Mammographic appearances are often non
specific and in the age group where breast abscesses are most often found, mammography is rarely done.
• Findings which may be demonstrated are skin thickening and an asymmetric density, mass or distortion.
![Page 85: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
BREAST ABSCESS
• These findings are not specific for abscess or malignancy; however presence of suspicious microcalcifications is more specific for malignancy and a biopsy to rule out carcinoma should be carried out.
![Page 86: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)

FAT NECROSIS
• A pathological process that occurs when there is saponification of local fat.
• A benign inflammatory process and is becoming increasingly common with greater use of breast conserving surgery and mammoplasty procedures.
![Page 90: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
FAT NECROSIS
• Most at risk are middle-aged women with pendulous breasts.
• Aetiologically, in everyday practice, trauma and surgery are the most common cause.
![Page 91: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
FAT NECROSIS
• Trauma includes seat belt injury, contact sports.
• Surgical procedures include implant removal breast biopsy, prior reconstruction.
• There is no relationship between fat necrosis and subsequent breast carcinoma.
![Page 92: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
FAT NECROSIS• Mammographically,
An ill-defined and irregular, spiculated mass-like area.
Associated calcification can be seen, which can mimic that of more malignant entities such as DCIS.
![Page 93: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
FAT NECROSIS• The changes are often seen and correlated
with the position of surgical scarring on the breast itself.
• The calcification of fat necrosis is typically peripheral with a stippled curvilinear appearance creating the appearance of lucent "bubbles" in the breast parenchyma.
![Page 94: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
FAT NECROSIS• With time, it becomes more defined and well-
circumscribed giving rise to an oil cyst.
• Oil cysts can have very fine curvilinear calcification of the walls.
• The centre of the lesion becomes increasingly homogenous with fat-density. The cyst wall calcify in about 5%.
![Page 95: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
FAT NECROSIS• Sonographically,
Fat necrosis may be seen as a hypoechoic mass with well defined margins with/without mural nodule(s).
Aspiration of an oil cyst shows typically a milky, emulsified fat appearance.
![Page 96: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
FAT NECROSIS
• On ultrasound, the lesion may occasionally represent an intracystic carcinoma and mammographic correlation and biopsy are recommended in these circumstances.
![Page 97: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)

GALACTOCELE
• Most common benign breast lesion typically occurring in young lactating women.
• They mostly occur on cessation of lactation.
![Page 102: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
GALACTOCELE
• Essentially a retention cyst resulting from lactiferous duct occlusion.
• There is a predilection towards the retroareolar region.
![Page 103: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
GALACTOCELE
• Mammographic appearance of galactocoele can be varied depending on the fat and protein content and the consistency of the fluid.
Due to significant fat content the mass may appear radiolucent; i.e. PSEUDOLIPOMA.
![Page 104: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
GALACTOCELE
When the milk is in fresh liquid state, a characteristic fat fluid level is seen due to viscosity difference.
• This can be demonstrated on mediolateral view with the beam horizontal to the upright patient; i.e. Fat-fluid level within a cyst.
![Page 105: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BREAST DX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/589c3ab91a28abec478b5ae9/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
GALACTOCELE
When contents are old milk and water, due to highly viscous old milk, gives a hamartoma-like appearance on mammogram.
