AI Article Synopsis
- Thirty-three cases of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) underwent mammography, ultrasonography, and surgery for diagnosis.
- The study found a 15% false negative rate for mammograms, mainly due to tumor characteristics and lack of microcalcifications.
- Ultrasonography showed a lower false negative rate of 12%, and techniques like fine needle aspirations under ultrasound guidance can help correct diagnostic errors from mammograms.
Article Abstract
Thirty three invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) were submitted to mammography, ultrasonography and finally surgery. The type of tumor proliferation and the absence of microcalcifications within the invasive tissue led to 15% of false negative responses in the mammographic analysis. Ultrasonography disclosed only 12% of false negatives. Sonographic appearance, especially fine needle aspirations or microbiopsy under ultrasonographic control, allows modification of mammographic and clinical diagnosis errors. Thus, this method appears of importance in diagnosis of ILC.
