Abstract:
Objective To analyze the typical and atypical X-ray findings and improve the understanding of the atypical features of breast cancer . Methods The mammographic manifestations of 61 patients with breast cancer were retrospectively analyzed . Results The X-ray findings were as follows: mass (n=39); microcalcification (n=30);localized tortuosity or disturbance of mammary gland architecture (n=4), star sign (n=3),asymmetrical and localized increased density (n=3) without mass and/or microcalcification.Conclusion Mass and microcalcification are very important and typical signs for diagnosing breast cancer, but some atypical X-ray findings can be found, including: localized disturbance of mammary gland architecture, star sign, asymmetrical and localized increased density, sometimes one of these X-ray findings is the only sign of malignancy. To recognize atypical X-ray findings of breast cancer is valuable for improving diagnostic rate.
