Abstract:
Objective To investigate the ultrasonographic features of different pathological types of phyllodes tumors ( PT ) of breast . Methods T he clinical manifestations and sonographic findings were analyzed retrospectively in 132 patients with 136 different subtype PT s . Ultrasonographic features of benign ,borderline and malignant types were compared . Results All the lesions were classified into benign ( 46/136 ,33 .8% ) ,borderline ( 62/136 ,45 .6% ) and malignant ( 28/136 ,20 .6% ) . On sonography ,most tumors were show n as oval or lobulated ( 77 .9% ) ,well‐defined margins ( 70 .6% ) ,and posterior echo enhancement ( 72 .1% ) . Cystic areas were observed in 36 lesions ( 26 .5% ) . No significant difference was observed in age ,lesion shape ,echo patterns ,posterior acoustic features or cystic area ( P ＞ 0 .05 ) . Large size ,indistinct margins and grade Ⅱ － Ⅲ vascularity were more frequent in borderline and malignant tumors ( P ＝0 .002 , P ＝0 .028 , P ＜0 .001 ,respectively ) . Conclusions Phyllodes tumors of breast have certain characteristics on ultrasonography .Large size ,unclear margins and rich blood flow signals may indicate malignancy .
