Abstract

Background: Breast cancer occupies the first place in the incidence of female malignant tumors, and has a tendency of becoming younger, and the proportion of non-mass breast cancer in young people is higher. In non-mass like breast lesions (NMLE), which lack typical imaging and are rich in pathological forms, there is often misdiagnosed. It has become an urgent problem to select the correct imaging method, improve the diagnostic accuracy, increase the probability of breast preservation, and improve the quality of life and life span of patients. Objective: To investigate the differential value of the combination of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI and X-ray mammography in diagnosing benign and malignant breast lesions presented as non-mass-like enhancement (NMLE). Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out on DCE-MRI and X-ray mammography data of 82 patients with NMLE confirmed by surgical pathology. Results: 1) Among the 82 cases of NMLE, 35 cases were benign masses and 47 cases were malignant tumors. 2) There were statistically significant differences between patients with NMLE in distribution, enhanced characteristics of lesions and ADC values; while there were no statistically significant differences in types of TIC. 3) The sensitivity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the combination of DCE- MRI and X-ray mammography to NMLE was increased. Conclusions: There are great values of the combination of DCE-MRI and X-ray mammography in diagnosing benign and malignant breast lesions presented as NMLE.
