Overview
MRI may be performed to detect the breast cancer associated with Paget's disease of the breast. In the setting of clinically and mammographically occult Paget's disease MRI can be very useful, mainly since mammography and ultrasonography have limitations in the evaluation of patients with Paget's disease. MRI also has a role in the preoperative evaluation of patients and might be helpful in facilitating treatment decisions.
MRI
- MRI may be performed to detect the breast cancer associated with Paget's disease of the breast.
- MRI is highly sensitive in the detection of clinically occult cancer with no mammographic and ultrasonographic signs of malignancy.
- MRI has a sensitivity of 95% compared to 70% of mammography in the detection of breast lesions.[1]
- MRI is useful not only to differentiate the normal nipple from the abnormal one but also to evaluate the extension of the tumor.
- It may show abnormal nipple enhancement, thickening of the nipple areola complex.
- Even when clinically unsuspected it can show associated enhancment for DCIS or invasive tumor, or a combination of both.
- MRI also has a role in the preoperative evaluation of patients and might be helpful in facilitating treatment decisions.[2][3][4][4]
