Methods The chest CT data of 30 cases under 16 year-old with breast area mass confirmed by surgery and pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Of 30 patients,28 also underwent contrast enhanced CT scan,and 4 underwent both CT and MRI.Results CT detected all the 37 masses in the 30 cases with the diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy of 100% and 78.38%,respectively.The long diameter of masses were from 9 mm to 80 mm (average 34.5 mm).CT also detected accurately the intrathoracic invasion,rib and lung metastases, lymph nodes enlargement,patent ductus arteriosus and postoperative changes of lung congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation.
