“…The sonographic appearance was that of an ill-defined, inhomogeneous mass with one or several small, round, echo-free areas mainly at the periphery of the lesion. 22 In summary, retrospective analysis of 56 breast masses with mixed sonographic pattern revealed that the heterogeneity of the solid portion is the most helpful criterion in the differential diagnosis for tumors classified as intracystic pattern. In tumors with multiple cystic component, the lack of a defined three-dimensional contour is the most important criterion suggesting a benign process.…”

Retrospective analysis was performed for 56 breast masses with mixed cystic and solid sonographic patterns encountered in the last 5 years at Keio University Hospital, with the objective of elucidating their significance. The lesions were classified into two major groups: tumor with cyst (TWC--solid mass with cystic component) and intracystic tumor (ICT--cystic mass with solid component). According to the pathological diagnosis, 57% were benign and 43% were malignant. Fifty eight percent of malignant lesions were shown to have a TWC pattern and 42% an ICT pattern. Among benign lesions, 66% were shown to be TWC and 34% ICT. In malignant tumors, 96% of the cases showed irregular shape and heterogeneous internal content. Even in benign lesions, a high incidence of irregular shape and rough border was found, although the predominant internal echo texture was homogeneous, and three-dimensional (3-D) contour was not clear. In conclusion, we observed that in the TWC group, the lack of a defined 3-D contour is the most important criterion, and tumors with multiples cysts tend to be benign.

“…4,15 Ultrasound features include poor mass definition, with internal echoes of variable strength, and one or more small, rounded, relatively echo-free areas mainly at the border of the lesion. 16 Treatment is total resection with preservation of the normal breast. The condition is a marker for families having a relatively high frequency of breast carcinoma.…”

“…Chez les patientes jeunes, cet examen est réalisé en première intention. Dans la papillomatose juvénile, on retrouve fréquemment des plages hypoéchogènes, irrégulières et contenant des kystes en grappes dans lesquels des microcalcifications peuvent être individualisées [2]. De ce fait, un cliché mammographique est souhaitable, même si celui-ci reste peu contributif du fait de la forte densité mammaire retrouvée chez ces patientes.…”
