| PURPOSE : The object of this study was to describe the sonographic findings of mass-forming pseudoangiomatous
stromal hyperplasia.
MATERIALS and METHODS : A retrospective review of ten patients with breast sonography and five patients with mammography
who had pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia presenting as a breast mass. All cases were confirmed
by surgical biopsy.
RESULTS : The mean age of the 10 patients was 41 years old (21-51) and the mean mass size was 4.7 cm (2.5-10).
On sonography, all lesions were oval shaped and well circumscribed, hypoechoic masses. Nine of the ten lesions
presented with homogeneous internal echogenicity and one lesion with a complex heterogeneous pattern
with a small internal cyst. A mammogram was performed in five patients and all lesions were oval, well circumscribed,
high density masses.
CONCLUSION : Sonographic findings of mass-forming pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia of the breast were
similar with those of other benign breast masses, so biopsy should be performed for diagnosis. |
