Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features of Breast Encapsulated Papillary Carcinoma
Objective:
This study aimed to describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of pure breast encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC).
Materials And Methods:
Ten patients with histopathologically confirmed breast pure EPC were reviewed. Two radiologists evaluated lesion MRI characteristics.
Results:
The EPC presented oval or round mass with circumscribed margin on MRI. In addition, 4 cases exhibited a cystic-solid mixed mass with mural nodules, and 4 cases exhibited a liquid level that indicated the possibility of hemorrhage.
Conclusions:
A well-defined cystic-solid mixed mass with mural nodules, or a circumscribed mass exhibiting the possibility of hemorrhage, may suggest the diagnosis of EPC.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...
