Abstract:
Objective To expatiate the ultrasonographical and pathological manifestations of breasts with juvenile macromastia.Methods Four patients with juvenile macromastia were examined by high frequency ultrasonography.The sonographical and pathological images were observed and reported.Results The sonographical characteristics of the breasts with juvenile macromastia were similar: the anatomical structures of the breasts were obscure,which were characterized by cystic formation,reticular structure,patched hypoechoic or hyperechoic regions and distorted gland structure.One patient had fibroadenoma and dermatic erythema.The results of pathological examination showed marked cystic proliferation of glands accompanied with ductal epithelial hyperplasia,irregular ductal distribution,no lobules formation or proliferation of fat tissue,fibrocyte and fibroblast.Conclusions The abnormalities of juvenile macromastia may not only be the huge volume,but also may include abnormal ultrasonographical and pathological manifestations,awaiting more follow-up studies.
