Popis: | Roentgenographic evidence of multicentricity was present in 26 of 47 cases of multicentric breast carcinoma in which the preoperative mammograms were reviewed.Some of the features observed in these cases were the presence of 2 or more nodules, separation of areas of calcification or other unusual distribution of calcific deposits, and the presence of both a nodule and a separate area of calcification.Because of possible therapeutic and prognostic implications, it seems prudent that the radiologist suggest the diagnosis of multicentric breast carcinoma when these features are observed. |
