BACKGROUND: Solid papillary carcinoma (SPC) is a rare variant of breast papillary carcinoma with unique pathological morphology and biological behavior. There is only one case report on T1-MRI of SPC. In this study, we report our findings on this new category of papillary carcinoma to fill the gap in MRI characterization of SPC.
METHODS: This retrospective study included four pathology-confirmed in situ SPC patients. Conventional MRI, diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) were performed with a 1.5 T whole-body MR scanner before surgical operation. The following characteristics of each lesion were recorded: signal intensity on T2WI/STIR and T1FSPGR, morphology, maximum lesion size, and time intensity curve (TIC) on dynamic contrast enhancement MRI (DCE-MRI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value from DWI, and Cho peak from MRS.
RESULTS: Signal intensities of all lesions were heterogenous on T2WI/STIR and T1FSPGR. Mass enhancements were observed for all lesions with either oval or irregular shapes on DCE-MRI. The maximum lesion size ranged from 0.8 cm to 3.2 cm. All lesion margins were circumscribed, and internal enhancements were homogeneous or heterogeneous from DCE-MRI. TIC appeared with a rapid increase in initial contrast phases of all lesions. All lesions on DWI (b = 1000s/mm2) were slightly hyperintense with an ADC value range of 1.3 × 10-3 mm2/s to 1.9 × 10-3 mm2/s. Cho peak was absent at 3.2 ppm for all lesions.
CONCLUSIONS: MRI characteristics of SPC include heterogeneous signal intensity within the lesion on T2WI/STIR and T1FSPGR, mass enhancement with circumscribed margins, either oval or irregular shapes, and a rapid initial enhancement of TIC on DCE-MRI. ADC values and the absence of Cho peak may provide valuable information to distinguish SPC from other invasive breast carcinomas.
