Abstract:
Objective To explore the atypical ultrasonic appearances of breast fibroadenoma and analyze the cause of mis diagnosis.Methods A total of 493 lesions in 485 patients of breast fibroadenoma detected by ultrasound examination andconfirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed.Atypical appearances were analyzed and misdiagnosis rate were cal-culated.Statistical methods were taken to compare the misdiagnosis rates in lesions with various atypical appearances andthose with none or single atypical appearance.Misdiagnosis rates in lesions with different sizes and pathological types wereanalyzed statically.Then misdiagnosing causes were analyzed.Results A total of 404 lesions were diagnosed correctly,in-cluding 99 lesions with atypical appearances,and the other 89 lesions were misdiagnosed,which showed atypical appear-ances.The misdiagnosis rate of lesions with ≥2 atypical features was higher than that with none or single atypical feature(x2 =256.40,P＜ 0.05).Large lesions (maximum diameter＞ 3 am) showed higher misdiagnosis rates than small ones(maximum diameter ≤3 cm,x2=6.73,P＜0.05),and complex fibroadenoma lesions also showed higher misdiagnosisrate than simple ones (x2 =188.01,P＜0.05).Conclusion The lesions with various atypical appearances,large size andcomplex fibroadenoma in pathology are easy to be misdiagnosed.
