Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia: a study of the mammographic and sonographic features

Hiperplasia estromal pseudoangiomatosa de la mama (HEPA): estudio clínico, radiológico y patológico de 4 casos

“…en el análisis de una serie de 73 pacientes, la detección fue únicamente radiológica (clínicamente asintomática) en 46 casos (70,8%) y debutó como nódulo mamario palpable en 19 casos (29,2%). Los casos detectados mediante estudio mamográfico fueron catalogados como Birads 3 en el 80,9% y únicamente el 2,1% y el 17% fueron catalogados como birads 4 y birads 2 respectivamente 15 .…”

“…En el estudio mamográfico se observa una masa única, de márgenes bien circunscritos o en forma parcial y generalmente sin calcificaciones 15 . Aunque en algún caso, los bordes son espiculados u ocultos.…”

Radiologic Imaging Findings of Bilateral Infiltrating Pseudoangiomatous Stromal Hyperplasia of the Breasts: A Case Report

“…However, some reports also had produced the possibility of recurrence. As such, final diagnosis by core needle biopsy alone was not recommended (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)8). …”

“…The most common mammographic and ultrasound finding of PASH is a circumscribed mass without calcification and it is difficult to distinguish from the phyllodes tumor and fibroadenoma (1)(2)(3)(4)8). Up to our knowledge, PASH presenting as rapid bilateral breast enlargement, as seen in our case, is very rare.…”

Pseudoangiomatous Stromal Hyperplasia (PASH) of the Breast

“…Imaging features are not sufficiently specific to allow for a prospective diagnosis. Histological confirmation, preferably with core biopsy, should always be considered [3]. The following case report illustrates the radiographic abnormalities caused by this lesion.…”
