Mammographic Evaluation of Breast Mass & Comparison with Histopathological Findings

breast hamartoma: mammographic findings

Breast Hamartoma: Mammographic Findings

Breast hamartoma is an uncommon, benign, slow-growing lesion found in all age groups after puberty. This pathological entity has a reported incidence of 1.2% of benign lesions and 4-8% of benign breast tumors in women (1, 2). It appears that with the increasing use of breast screening more hamartomas are likely to be identified. This rare pathological entity consists of a well-circum-scribed, b...

Breast ultrasonographic and histopathological characteristics without any mammographic abnormalities.

OBJECTIVE We evaluated ultrasonographic findings and the corresponding histopathological characteristics of breast cancer patients with Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category 1 mammogram. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the ultrasonographic findings and the corresponding histopathological features of 45 breast cancer patients with BI-RADS category 1 mammogram and 537 ...

Mammographic findings in different breast cancer subtypes (luminal, Her2 positive, triple negative)

Background: Prognosis and management of breast cancer are defined by different variables including histological type, grading, clinical stage, Her2+, estrogen and progesterone receptor conditions. Generally, mammography is one of the most important imaging which is done in breast cancer patients. The aim of this research was to evaluate different mammographic patterns in different breast cancer...

association of mammographic density with pathologic findings

results in patients with high breast densities, malignant cases (61.2%) were significantly more in comparison to patients with low breast densities (37.3%) (p= 0.007, or=2.66 95% ci=1.29-5.49). after adjusting for age, density was associated with malignancy in age groups <46 years (p=0.007), and 46-60 years (p=0.024) but not in age group >60yrs (p=0.559). adjusting for menopausal status, densit...
