| PURPOSE: For analysis of ultrasonographic findings of intraductal papilloma, and correlation to the pathologic find-i
n g s .
M ATERIALS and METHODS:Ultrasonographic, mammographic and clinico- pathologic findings of 50 intraductal pa-pillomas
in 42 patients were retrospectively analyzed.
R E S U LTS: The ultrasonographic findings of 50 masses were solid mass within dilated duct(type I) (n=15, 30%), sol-id
mass within cyst(type II) (n=17, 34%), solid mass without visible cyst or ductal dilatation(type III) (n=18,
36%). The type III masses were divided into heterogeneous echoic mass(type IIIa) (n=13, 26%) and homoge-neous
echoic mass(type IIIb) (n=5, 10%). On microscopic examination, supporting stroma, cystic space and se-cretory
vacuoles were found within the papillary fronds of all intraductal papillomas with variable composition.
Type IIIa was proved to have hematoma within dilated duct or cyst on operation records. The mammographic
findings were mass without microcalcification(n=8, 23.5%), mass with microcalcification(n=2, 5.9%), only mi-crocalcification(
n=1, 2.9%), asymmetric focal increased density(n=3, 8.8%), and normal finding(n=20, 58.8%).
C O N C L U S I O N : The ultrasonographic finding of intraductal papilloma in the breast can be classified into 4 types(type
I, II, IIIa, IIIb) according to the presence of ductal dilatation or cyst and homogeneity of the echotexture of the
mass. Intraductal papilloma combined with the intraductal or intracystic hematoma or associated with necrosis
in the mass could explain the heterogeneity of the echotexture. |
