Mammography is a highly sensitive and specific technique in the diagnosis of breast cancer, but some tumours show no radiological features of malignancy. A total of 9.3 per cent of 323 consecutive patients with operable breast cancer had negative mammographic reports, and the clinical radiological and pathological findings in these cases are compared with those in the mammographically diagnosed group. Misinterpretation of carcinoma as a benign lesion and diagnostic difficulties in the dense dysplastic breast were found to be the main causes of error.
乳房X线摄影术在乳腺癌诊断中是一项高度敏感且特异的技术，但有些肿瘤并无恶性的放射学特征。在323例连续的可手术乳腺癌患者中，共有9.3%的患者乳房X线摄影报告为阴性，现将这些病例的临床、放射学及病理学检查结果与乳房X线摄影诊断组的结果进行比较。发现将癌误诊为良性病变以及致密发育异常乳房的诊断困难是出错的主要原因。
