The role of Shear-Wave elastography in the differentiation of benign and malign non-mass lesions of the breast.

Aim: The aim of this study is to retrospectively assess the additional diagnostic value of shear wave elastography (SWE) added to ultrasound (US) versus US alone in differentiating malignant and benign non-mass lesions (NMLs) of the breast by readers with different experience levels and to assess interreader agreement.

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis: magnetic resonance imaging findings with diffusion MRI.

Background: Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare benign breast disease with unknown etiology which can mimic breast carcinoma, both clinically and radiologically.

Purpose: To analyze conventional, dynamic contrast-enhanced, and diffusion-weighted MRI signal characteristics of IGM by comparing it with the contralateral normal breast parenchyma.

The patients were divided into two groups based on the type of treatment received.

Myofibroblastoma of the Breast.

This study aimed presenting a case of a 64-year-old woman with a rare diagnosis of myofibroblastoma (MFB). MFB is one of the rare, benign, spindle-like stromal tumors arising from the connective tissue of the breast. MFBs are often confused with fibroadenomas and hamartomas because of their benign characteristic appearance on breast imaging and are diagnosed after excisional biopsies.

Comparison of Predictive Factors For the Diagnosis and Clinical Course of Phyllodes Tumours of the Breast.

Background: To compare predicting factors for the diagnosis and clinical course of benign and malign/borderline phyllodes tumours (PT) of the breast, and to discuss treatment modalities.

Methods: Clinical and demographic characteristics of the patients with histopathological diagnosis of phyllodes tumour were examined. Patients were divided into group 1 (benign PT) and group 2 (borderline/malignant PT).

[Lumbar epidural steroid injection: Is the success rate predictable?].
