Correlation of Solitary Dilated Duct at Mammography With Ultrasonography and Anatomopathological Findings
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Mammograms performed at the Diagnostic Imaging Department of the "Instituto Brasileiro de Controle do Câncer" (IBCC - Brazilian Cancer Control Institute) will be prospectively evaluated. Patients who present a solitary dilated duct visualized by mammography will be submitted to breast ultrasonography. In case of detection of lesion, a percutaneous biopsy will be performed.

Detailed Description
Purpose: To determinate the incidence, pathological significance and risk factors associated with the presence of solitary dilated duct visualized at mammography exam.
Methods: Mammograms performed at the Diagnostic Imaging Department of the "Instituto Brasileiro de Controle do Câncer" (IBCC - Brazilian Cancer Control Institute) will be prospectively evaluated. Patients who present a solitary dilated duct visualized by mammography will be included in the study. These patients will be recalled in order to be submitted to an ultrasonography directed to the mammographic finding. Patients who present lesions on ultrasonography will undergo method-guided percutaneous biopsy.
Patients with ductal ectasia, without evident lesions, will be followed for 2 years to evaluate stability by means of mammography or ultrasonography every 6-month intervals.

Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Ductal lesion Subjects with a ductal lesion detected on ultrasonography. |
Diagnostic Test: Ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy
Group "Ductal lesion" will be submitted to ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy and the specimen will be histologically analysed.
|
No ductal lesion Subjects without a ductal lesion detected on ultrasonography |
Diagnostic Test: Follow-up
Group "No ductal lesion" will be submitted to follow-up with periodic breast ultrasonography/mammography every 6 months for 2 years.
