Body
was changed:
There are a number of lesions that appear hyper-echoichyperechoic on ultrasound. Such lesions can be either completely or partly hyperechoic and comprise of both benign benign and malignant entities.
Benign
-
fat containing breast lesions
:- lipoma of the breast
- fibroadenolipoma (hamartoma) of the breast
- focal regions of mammary fat necrosis
- angiomyolipoma of the breast 3: rare lesion
-
intramammary lymph node with
prominantprominent central fat replacement of the hilum: partlyhyperechoicichyperechoic
- acute breast haematoma: from acute haemorrhage
-
breast angiomas 1
- breast haemangioma: can contain hyperechoic components
-
capillary angioma of the breast
:
- focal fibrosis involving the breast
Malignant
- rarely some breast cancers can appear
hyper-echoichyperechoic 2: may be related to tumour heterogeneity in cellularity such as cribriform pattern, tubular structure, solid nests and a scirrhous pattern of cancer cells.
