Lactating adenomas, benign breast masses in pregnant or nursing patients, can present with atypical ultrasound features mimicking malignancy. Careful review of imaging characteristics is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Lactating adenoma is a benign breast lesion presenting as a palpable mass.
  • It commonly occurs in pregnant or lactating individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To retrospectively review the ultrasound characteristics of lactating adenomas.
  • To identify imaging features that may mimic malignancy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of ultrasound findings.
  • Analysis of 15 lactating adenomas in 15 patients.

Main Results:

  • 10 of 15 lactating adenomas exhibited benign features (circumscribed borders, smooth lobulations, echogenic pseudocapsule).
  • 5 of 15 lactating adenomas displayed features concerning for malignancy (irregular margins, posterior acoustic shadowing).

Conclusions:

  • Lactating adenomas can present with imaging features that overlap with malignant breast lesions.
  • Ultrasound findings require careful interpretation in pregnant or lactating patients to differentiate benign from potentially malignant lesions.
