PDFAbstract
Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics and MRI findings of breast fibroadenomas and differential diagnosis of breast cancer. Methods The MRI imaging data of 44 patients with breast fibroadenomas (n=29) and breast cancer (n=15) confirmed by surgery or biopsy were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical characteristics of breast fibroadenomas were summarized. The differences in MRI findings between breast fibroadenomas and breast cancer were analyzed. Results In this study, 15 cases (19 lesions) of breast cancer were detected by MRI and the detection rate was 100.0%. Of the 29 cases (38 lesions) of fibroadenomas, MRI detected 27 cases and 2 cases were misdiagnosed as breast cancer. The detection rate was 93.10%. Conclusion Clear boundaries, complete capsule, no enhanced separation, internal homogrnrous signal are MRI signs of breast fibroadenomas. When MRI findings of breast tumors does not match the performance function, they should be carefully identified.
