“…The absence of these clinical signs with sonography findings of abscess should warrant a clinician to evaluate the patient for tuberculosis of the breast. 6,7 The medical management of the lesion depends on underlying pathology.…”

Juvenile fibroadenomas presenting in a young girl at menarche pose a challenge not only for the clinician but also for the interpreting radiologist and the pathologist. The behavior of this neoplasm is unpredictable clinically and radiologically. 1,2 Their rapid growth, stretching of overlying skin, prominent overlying veins, and sometimes ulceration give a clinical suspicion of malignancy. In addition, their radiologic findings do not correspond to that of a benign mass lesion. Even their histopathological features can vary from case to case. A misinterpretation may lead to a radical surgery, for this nonthreatening condition. A series of three cases are provided with this same breast pathology.

“…17,18,19,20 Only one study was found in the literature which aimed to differentiate BTB from BCA with the use of MRS in four BTB patients with no comparison group. 21 The authors suggested that the absence of choline peak and the presence of a strong lipid peak favoured BTB rather than BCA. 21…”

BackgroundThe use of multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of breast tuberculosis (BTB).ObjectivesTo evaluate the value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), T2-weighted (T2W) and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in differentiating breast cancer (BCA) from BTB.MethodWe retrospectively studied images of 17 patients with BCA who had undergone pre-operative MRI and 6 patients with pathologically proven BTB who underwent DCE-MRI during January 2014 to January 2015.ResultsAll patients were female, with the age range of BTB patients being 23–43 years and the BCA patients being 31–74 years. Breast cancer patients had a statistically significant lower mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value (1072.10 ± 365.14), compared to the BTB group (1690.77 ± 624.05, p = 0.006). The mean T2-weighted signal intensity (T2SI) was lower for the BCA group (521.56 ± 233.73) than the BTB group (787.74 ± 196.04, p = 0.020). An ADC mean cut-off value of 1558.79 yielded 66% sensitivity and 94% specificity, whilst the T2SI cut-off value of 790.20 yielded 83% sensitivity and 83% specificity for differentiating between BTB and BCA. The homogeneous internal enhancement for focal mass was seen in BCA patients only.ConclusionMulti-parametric MRI incorporating the DWI, T2W and DCE-MRI may be a useful tool to differentiate BCA from BTB.
