We report 3 cases of patients with a history of extra-mammary cancer who presented with breast nodules, leading to diagnostic challenges and occasional misleading imaging findings. These cases highlight the significance of radiologists considering breast metastases as a potential component of the differential diagnosis when assessing patients with a history of cancer who exhibit palpable breast nodules. Furthermore, these cases underscore the importance of integrating various imaging techniques with histological and immunohistochemical analyses of the lesions to achieve precise diagnoses, ultimately ensuring the highest quality of care for these patients.
我们报告了3例有乳腺外癌症病史的患者,他们出现了乳腺结节,这给诊断带来了挑战,偶尔还会出现误导性的影像学表现。这些病例凸显了放射科医生在评估有癌症病史且出现可触及乳腺结节的患者时,将乳腺转移瘤视为鉴别诊断潜在组成部分的重要性。此外,这些病例强调了将各种影像学技术与病变的组织学和免疫组化分析相结合以实现精确诊断的重要性,最终确保为这些患者提供最高质量的护理。
