Lactating adenoma: US features and literature review

Radiology
J H SumkinB J Weinstein

Abstract

To describe the ultrasonographic (US) features of adenoma in a lactating breast. The US scans of 11 lactating adenomas in nine patients aged 25-36 years examined in 1991-1996 were retrospectively reviewed. In all lesions, diagnoses were cytologically or histologically proved after US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (eight lesions) or core biopsy (three lesions). Six patients were lactating, and three patients were in the third trimester of pregnancy. The US features analyzed were shape, orientation to the chest wall, border characteristics, echogenicity, homogeneity, enhancement or shadowing, and depth within the breast. Most lesions had benign US features such as ovoid shape with the long axis parallel to the chest wall (10 of 11), well-defined margins (eight of 11), homogeneous echotexture (eight of 11), and posterior acoustic enhancement (10 of 11). Four lesions had US features that resembled malignant lesions, such as irregular margins, heterogeneous echotexture, and posterior acoustic shadowing. The US features, although generally benign, are not specific. Tissue sampling with fine-needle aspiration biopsy is recommended. Core biopsy is necessary if a diagnosis cannot be made with the aspirate but is not performed ini...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
