Delay in diagnosis of pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) is common, often attributed to the difficulty in evaluating tumours in the gravid breast, low awareness among physicians and reluctance of patients and physicians to perform imaging or invasive procedures during pregnancy. Familiarity with imaging features of PABC is crucial for prompt diagnosis. This article illustrates imaging findings of PABC and provides an approach for the evaluation of pregnant and lactating women with palpable abnormalities.
妊娠相关性乳腺癌(PABC)的诊断常常延误,这通常归因于妊娠乳房中肿瘤的评估困难、医生对此病的认识不足以及患者和医生不愿在妊娠期间进行影像学或有创检查。熟悉 PABC 的影像学特征对于及时诊断至关重要。本文阐述了 PABC 的影像学表现,并为评估有可触及异常的妊娠和哺乳期妇女提供了一种方法。
