Abstract
- Background With the increasing use of high-resolution ultrasound (US) examination, many breast carcinomas that cannot be identified by mammography (MMG) alone have been detected. Many of these carcinomas are ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and small-sized invasive carcinomas. Until date, DCISs have often been described as palpable masses with calcifications on MMG, but what are the characteristics of DCISs that are detectable by US alone? Methods One hundred fifty cases with DCIS that we experienced at our clinic from 2003 to 2007 were classified into 47 cases (echo group) diagnosed by US alone and 103 cases (MMG/PE group) diagnosed by MMG or clinically. Results US findings of the echo group showed cystic or solid lesions in 37 cases (79%). The mean age of the echo group was significantly higher than that of the MMG/PE group (59.6 vs. 51.2 years; P
