Abstract:
ObjectiveTo analyze the imageology appearance and clinical characteristics of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast.MethodsFeatures of MRI(4 patients)and B-type ultrasonic inspection(5 patients)of nine patients with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast pathologically confirmed were retrospectively reviewed. Compared with postoperative pathological appearance, the correlation between imageology appearance and clinical, pathological characteristics was analyzed. ResultsImageology appearance:In MRI:The tumor diameter was around 50 mm;The tumors were located at nearby papillae;There were two patients with pachymenia at the same time;The tumor margin was unclear,which has clear tumor wall structure and heterogeneous pachymenia,and without corpora mammillaria shadow which was toward interior;The tumors were low signal on T1WI and partially high signal on T2WI;The image with enhancement scanning showed that parenchymatous part of tumor were enhanced,while enhancements were not obviously at the centre of tumor with necrosis.In B-type ultrasonic inspection:The average diameter of tumors was around 40 mm, there were NT=0 mm in 4 cases. NT=19 mum in 1 case. The tumors presented as shape of clump or sublobe,which had unclear margin and high echoic region behind the tumor.There were also normal echo at the tumor lateral in 2 cases at the same time,and 4 cases showed blood supply was abundant, and 2 cases showed that there were colliquation and necrosis which had cystic hypoechoic signal at the tumor interior.MMG:There were class-4 in 2 cases,and Class-3 in 1 case.The tumor with little calcification which had no obvious veining showed uniformly high densities.All patients were treated with entire mastectomy. The patho-staging showed 3 cases were in ⅢB, 1 case was Ⅱ B, and 1 case was in Ⅱ A. Theresults of ER and PR with all patients were negative by using immunohistochemistry. 3 cases were also treated with chemotherapy after surgery; other organs (brain and lung) were found metabasis by follow-up visit of post-operation.ConclusionFor patients with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast,MMG inspection before surgery did not have specific imageology characteristics, while MRI has. The combination of MRI, B-type ultrasonic inspection and CNB can detect pathologic types and invasive circumscription,so it may have great applications for choose of surgery style and directions of therapy in the future.
