Ultrasound Elastographic Findings of Mammary Fibromatosis

Fibromatosis, a benign breast disease mimicking carcinoma. A case report

Introduction Fibromatosis is an uncommon breast lesion that can mimic breast carcinoma in its clinical presentation. Case summary We present a clinical case in which a diagnosis and treatment dilemma existed, in terms of ultrasound findings that were not clear and suspicious, as well as results of Fine needle aspiration cytology. Our findings are compared with previous published cases. Also, ...

Desmoid-type fibromatosis of the breast: A report of 2 cases

Mammary fibromatosis is a rare and locally aggressive benign tumor of the breast; it originates from fibroblasts and myofibroblasts within the breast parenchyma and does not metastasize. The condition is locally aggressive and has a high rate of recurrence. The etiology of mammary fibromatosis is unknown. Breast imaging examinations are not specific for fibromatosis and often imitate breast can...

Non-invasive assessment of bowel wall fibrosis in Crohn's disease: role of the qualitative elastographic imaging (IE) and correlation with baseline (US), colour Doppler (CD-US) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CE-US) patterns

Ultrasound Breast Elastographic Evaluation of Mass-Forming Ductal Carcinoma-in-situ with Histological Correlation - New Findings for a Toothpaste Sign.

BACKGROUND It is unclear as to whether the size ratio elastographic technique is useful for assessing ultrasound- detected ductal carcinoma-in-situ (DCIS) masses since they commonly lack a significant desmoplastic reaction. The objectives of this study were to determine the accuracy of this elastographic technique in DCIS and examine if there was any histopathological correlation with the grey-...

Male Breast Abscess Mimicking Malignancy: Clinical, Mammographic, Ultrasound, and Shear-Wave Elastography Findings

A variety of same pathologic conditions in the female breast, from benign to malignancy, have been reported for the male breast. In a symptomatic male patient with a palpable abnormality, gynecomastia and skin lesions account for the majority of pathologic conditions [1-3]. Breast abscess is also possible benign condition in men, but it is extremely rare [1-3]. Male breast abscess may have unfa...
