Comparative Analysis of Imaging and Pathology Features of Mucinous Carcinoma of the Breast

MBC commonly presented as masses with well circumscribed, round, or lobular shapes. The remaining cases presented with focal symmetry. The rate of regional nodal involvement of MBC was less than that of IDC. The MR features of PMBC included benign (homogenous intensity on T1-weighted imaging [WI] and T2-WI, persistent enhancement pattern) and malignant characteristics (rim or heterogeneous enhancement). The ADC values of MBC were greater than those of benign lesions and other malignant tumors. We believe that the combination of mammography and Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) may help to improve the diagnostic accuracy of MBC.
