The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between post-treatment radiological findings and recurrences in idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM).
Clinical data, ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations of 160 patients with IGM (mean age 34.6±7 years; range 20-56 years) who received only steroid or steroid+surgical treatment were evaluated retrospectively. Patients were grouped as radiological complete response (RCR) or radiological incomplete response (RIR).
Only in the steroid group, 79 (54.1%) patients were in the RCR group and 67 (45.9%) patients were in the RIR group. Recurrence occurred in 42 (26.3%) patients, 27 (16.9%) in the same breast and 15 (9.4%) in the contralateral breast. Most of the recurrences in the same breast had residual lesions up to recurrence (74.1%).
Residual lesion after treatment is a risk factor for recurrence, and treatment can significantly reduce recurrences until the lesions disappear. The lesion size on MRI after treatment is not associated with recurrence.
本研究旨在探讨特发性肉芽肿性乳腺炎(IGM)治疗后影像学表现与复发之间的关系。
回顾性评估160例仅接受类固醇或类固醇+手术治疗的IGM患者(平均年龄34.6±7岁;范围20 - 56岁)的临床资料、超声(US)和磁共振成像(MRI)检查结果。患者分为放射学完全缓解(RCR)组或放射学不完全缓解(RIR)组。
仅在类固醇治疗组中,79例(54.1%)患者属于RCR组,67例(45.9%)患者属于RIR组。42例(26.3%)患者出现复发,同侧乳房复发27例(16.9%),对侧乳房复发15例(9.4%)。同侧乳房的大多数复发在复发前都有残留病变(74.1%)。
治疗后残留病变是复发的危险因素,在病变消失前治疗可显著降低复发率。治疗后MRI上的病变大小与复发无关。
