2003 APR 10 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Histological examination is necessary to diagnose phyllodes breast tumors.
"Our objective was to study the color and pulse Doppler ultrasonography of phyllodes tumors of the breast. The data of 36 phyllodes tumors (19 benign, 5 borderline, and 12 malignant) were reviewed retrospectively," researchers in Taiwan report.
"The median age of the patients was 41.5 years (range 13-62 years), and the tumors varied in size from 1.5 to 20 cm (median 4.6 cm). Most of the phyllodes tumors were lobulated masses with smooth margins, mildly hypoechoic internal echo texture, a heterogeneous internal echo pattern, and no microcalcification," wrote T.C. Chao and colleagues, Chang Gung University College of Medicine.
"Vessels were detectable on 35 of these tumors, with 51.4% having resistance index > 0.700, 45.7% having pulsatility index > 1.300, and 51.4% having V-max > 15 cm/s, the researchers ...
