Abstract:
Objective To analyze the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)and histologic features of the synchronous bilateral primary breast cancer (sBPBC).Methods MRI findings and pathologic types of sBPBC in 20 patients in our institute were reviewed retrospectively. The MRI features of sBPBC were compared with the pathologic types,respectively.Results 20 sBPBC patients with 41 lesions were found with the most common pathological type of invasive ductal carcinoma in 26 (26/41 ).Bilateral lesions had the same pathological types in 1 1 patients(1 1/20),and different types in 9(9/20).The MRI features of invasive breast cancer were more characteristic than that of early breast cancer.In 20 patients,the first and second primary breast cancers with similar MRI findings were found in 6(6/20).In 10 patients with sBPBC,the first cancer was advanced breast cancer,and the second was early or low grade breast cancer.Conclusion (1)The most common pathological type of sBPBC is invasive ductal carcinoma,and the pathological types of bilateral lesions are not similar. (2)The MRI features of the first and the second lesions in bilateral primary breast cancer showed lower similarity,and the bilateral lesions should be diagnosed independently.(3)In patients with sBPBC,some cancers are advanced breast cancers,and the second ones are early cancers,suggesting the lesion should be followed up if the contralateral one is diagnosed as breast cancer.
