Case Report: Efficacy of Multiparameter MRI in Diagnosis of Chronic Breast Inflammation Complicated with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma and Ductal Carcinoma in situ

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction: Incidental Enhancement Lesions (IELs) complicate patient management but may be detected through multiparameter MRI including dynamic contrast enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (syMRI). The multiparameter MRI model gave greater objectivity to avoid unnecessary biopsy. Case Presentation: A 60 year-old woman had a history of occasional right breast pain and a mass was identified in the right breast. A thickening in the upper quadrant of the right outer breast was found during physical examination but no mass was palpable. Breast dynamic contrast enhancement MRI and synthetic MRI were performed prior to ultrasound-guided biopsy of the right breast lesion. Resection of the right breast lesion and sentinel lymph node was performed 2 days later. Chronic inflammation, locally invasive ductal carcinoma and high-grade ductal carcinoma in situ were found by pathological examination. Discussion: Differentiation between benign and malignant breast IELs was facilitated by use of a multiparameter MRI model with DCE-MRI and syMRI, giving greater objectivity in differentiating between benign and malignant lesions.
