Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) BI-RADS® 3 lesions should have a very high probability of being benign. To prove benignity most institutions do follow-up MRI.
To evaluate the necessity of initial short-interval follow-up after 6 months as it is suggested for mammographic BI-RADS®3 lesions.
We analyzed 163 consecutive MRI-BI-RADS® 3 lesions on follow-up MRI: 75 masses (46%), 67 foci (41.1%), and 21 (12.9%) non-mass-like enhancing lesions (NMLE).
During MRI follow-up (mean time, 563 days) 20% of the lesions disappeared, 23% decreased, 52% did not change, and 4.9% showed increase. All increasing lesions were biopsied (5 benign, 2 ductal carcinoma in situ, 1 invasive carcinoma). The rate of malignancy was 1.8%. All malignant lesions (1 mass, 1 focus, 1 NMLE) showed increase at initial follow-up after a mean interval of 190 days.
In this study the malignancy rate of MRI-BI-RADS® 3 lesions corresponded to mammographic BI-RADS® 3 lesions. Initial short-interval MRI should be suggested to identify malignant MRI-BI-RADS® 3 lesions.
磁共振成像(MRI)BI-RADS® 3类病变极有可能为良性。为证实其良性,大多数机构会进行MRI随访。
评估是否有必要像乳腺钼靶BI-RADS® 3类病变那样在6个月后进行首次短期随访。
我们分析了163例连续的MRI-BI-RADS® 3类病变的随访MRI检查结果:75个肿块(46%),67个病灶(41.1%),以及21个(12.9%)非肿块样强化病变(NMLE)。
在MRI随访期间(平均时间为563天),20%的病变消失,23%缩小,52%无变化,4.9%增大。所有增大的病变均接受了活检(5例良性,2例导管原位癌,1例浸润性癌)。恶性率为1.8%。所有恶性病变(1个肿块,1个病灶,1个NMLE)在首次随访时均增大,平均间隔时间为190天。
在本研究中,MRI-BI-RADS® 3类病变的恶性率与乳腺钼靶BI-RADS® 3类病变相当。应建议进行首次短期MRI检查以识别恶性的MRI-BI-RADS® 3类病变。
