Imaging features that distinguish pure ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) from DCIS with microinvasion

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in Karachi.

OBJECTIVE To study the frequency of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in a large pathology series. DCIS is a proliferation of non-invasive, malignant epithelial cells within the ductolobular system of the breast. It is a heterogeneous entity with several morphologic variants that differ in gross appearance, growth pattern, cytologic features, mammography, and malignant potential. METHODS The da...

Detection of pure ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) at diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)

Diagnosis and management of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).

OBJECTIVES Systematic synthesis of the published evidence about incidence, risk factors, and management options for women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast. DATA SOURCES Original epidemiologic studies were sought from several databases to identity articles published in English between 1970 and January 31, 2009. REVIEW METHODS Incidence of DCIS in the general population and ...

Patient, tumor and therapeutic features related to recurrence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).

To evaluate the correlations between patient, tumor and therapeutic features and DCIS recurrence after primary treatment, a cohort of 132 cases of DCISs, treated at "Prof. Dr. Ion Chiricuta" Oncology Institute, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, between 1999 and 2010, were studied. Present study showed that age <45 years at diagnosis and presence of the necrosis were significantly correlated with recurrence...

Paget's disease of the male breast with underlying ductal carcinoma in situ (‘DCIS’)

Male breast cancer accounts for 1% of all breast malignancies and 0.1% of all male cancer death. Like Paget's disease, DCIS is a rare form of male breast malignancy. We report a 69-year-male presenting with 3 years history of subtle of nipple symptoms and normal breast imaging. Punch biopsy of nipple established the diagnosis of Paget's disease and subsequent histology of mastectomy specimen re...
