The aim of this study was to assess whether or not there was an association between a polycystic ovary (PCO) and fibrocystic breast disease based on ultrasound findings, both pelvic and mammographic.
Prospective case-control study.
Women aged between 18 and 30 years not using oral contraceptives attending the outpatient ultrasound clinic from January 1996 to December 1998.
Confirm the association between PCO and fibrocystic breast disease.
According to the ultrasound findings, women were allocated to three groups: 351 out of 456 showed normal-appearing ovaries (group A), 93 had polycystic-appearing ovaries/PCO (group B) and 12 had PCO syndrome (group C). In group A, 24 (6.83%) women showed breast pathology. In group B, there was an association between PCO and breast pathology in 53 (56.98%) women, while in group C it was noted in 11 out of 12 (91%).
This study showed a significant association between PCO and benign pathology. This should encourage the performance of a screening breast sonography on women with PCO.
本研究旨在基于盆腔和乳腺超声检查结果,评估多囊卵巢(PCO)与纤维囊性乳腺病之间是否存在关联。
前瞻性病例对照研究。
1996年1月至1998年12月期间,年龄在18至30岁之间、未使用口服避孕药且前往门诊超声诊所就诊的女性。
证实PCO与纤维囊性乳腺病之间的关联。
根据超声检查结果,女性被分为三组:456名女性中有351名卵巢外观正常(A组),93名有多囊样卵巢/PCO(B组),12名患有PCO综合征(C组)。在A组中,24名(6.83%)女性存在乳腺病变。在B组中,53名(56.98%)女性的PCO与乳腺病变之间存在关联,而在C组中,12名中有11名(91%)存在这种关联。
本研究表明PCO与良性病变之间存在显著关联。这应促使对患有PCO的女性进行乳腺超声筛查。
