Objective:
The aim of the study was to evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging findings associated with clinicopathologic factors in patients with triple-negative breast cancer.
Methods:
One hundred one patients with surgically confirmed triple-negative breast cancer who underwent preoperative breast magnetic resonance imaging with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) were included in this study. Presence of rim enhancement on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging and hyperintense rim on DWI were visually assessed. Pathologic data about presence of recurrence and presence of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) were reviewed. Statistics for relative risk of recurrence carried out.
Results:
Of the 101, 13 cases (12.9%) were recurred after a median follow-up of 18.5 months. Rim enhancement was more frequently seen in the LVI-positive group (P = 0.046). Hyperintense rim on DWI and apparent diffusion coefficient values showed no significant relationship with clinical-pathologic factors.
Conclusions:
Rim enhancement was significantly associated with positive LVI status in patients with triple-negative breast cancer. Our study suggests that rim enhancement may be useful to predict the prognosis.
