“…Similarly, Kapenhas-Valdes et al [16] also found that 5 patients (8.8%) who were found to have carcinoma (one of them had invasive cancer and the remaining ones had DCIS or LCIS) with ductoscopy-guided cytopathology had benign and stable findings via breast imaging (MG and US). The accuracy of US and MG is 61 and 22%, respectively, for noncomedo DCIS [70]. MG, US, and routine touch cytology of the nipple discharge are not sensitive in detecting DCIS.…”

Background: Today, in cases of nipple discharge of unclear origin, the abundance of diagnostic procedures - a ‚diagnostic dilemma' - becomes apparent, because unequivocal indications and a current, standardized examination sequence are presently not available. The diagnostic workup of patients with nipple discharge usually includes the clinical history, physical examination, mammography, ultrasonography, galactography, and nipple discharge cytology, but not ductoscopy. Methods: In this review we analyze and discuss the possible role of ductoscopy in evaluating intraductal pathologies and its combined use with diagnostic imaging modalities. For this purpose, we reviewed and compared the results of the radiological, pathological, and surgical studies independently. Conclusions: Currently, there is no solitary accurate modality to reach our definitive purpose. Being aware of the capability of each diagnostic modality may take us closer to our target. Therefore, adjunct and appropriate use of multiple imaging modalities and ductoscopy is necessary to evaluate patients with nipple discharge.

“…In addition, also in the analysis of histological factors, a large DCIS lesion was described to be associated with invasion [1,2]. In the DCIS, MR imaging was reportedly more sensitive for detection of the lesion, with higher accuracy for determining the extent of disease than mammography [15, 27,28]. Thus, to estimate histological lesion size, overall, MR imaging was more reliable than mammography.…”

“…MRI achieves the highest sensitivity of all imaging modalities in breast cancer detection reaching 99% [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. MRI has been proven to represent an accurate method in the pre-therapeutic cancer staging for determining the exact tumor size as well as depicting multifocality and multicentricity [12][13][14][15][16].…”

Women with unilateral breast carcinoma reveal an increased risk of suffering from malignancies in the contralateral breast. There is a controversy about the existence of bilateral phenotypic similarities. The aim of this investigation was to compare histologic findings, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters, and tumor localizations of synchronous bilateral carcinomas. MRI revealed in 42 of 875 women (4.8%) with primary index carcinomas a contralateral malignancy. Twenty-two of the 42 contralateral carcinomas could only be detected by MRI, not by clinical examination, X-ray mammography, or ultrasonography. In 875 patients, MRI therefore identified 22 (2.5%) otherwise occult contralateral cancers. To evaluate bilateral MRI similarities, multiple dynamic and morphologic parameters were evaluated. Of 42 bilateral cancer pairs, histologic tumor type was identical in 54.8% (correlation analysis, P < 0.05). Estrogen receptor status was simultaneously positive or negative in 86.2% (P < 0.01), progesterone receptor status in 79.3% (P < 0.05), expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 in 76.2% (P < 0.05). In 75.8%, initial signal increase, and in 63.6%, postinitial curve types were bilaterally congruent on MRI (P < 0.05). Detected masses showed bilaterally similar T2-signal intensity in 81.8% (P < 0.001). Similar shape and margin of tumor masses and occurrence of non-mass-like enhancement were also frequently observed in both breasts (P < 0.05). The main tumor quadrant was the same in 61.9%, the main localization (retromamillar, central, or dorsal) in 66.7% (P < 0.01). Contralateral carcinomas frequently present similar histologic findings, tumor localizations and MRI characteristics reflecting analogies of tumor neoangiogenesis, histopathologic components, and infiltration in the surrounding stroma. Bilateral synchronous carcinomas may represent on each site distinct, but similar biologic entities, due to analogous influences of tumor developments.
