ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of breast molybdenum target radiography in evaluating the enlarged axillary lymph nodes in breast diseases.Methods 79 patients underwent breast molybdenum target radiography,including conventional laxial and oblique projection. Some of them were examine furtheremore in compress projection in axillary fossa. The X-ray findings were analysis. And radiologic-pathologic correlation were carried out.Results There were 46 cases of brease carcinoma, 20 cases of hyperplasia,7cases of fibroadenoma,2 cases of plasmacytic mammitis,2cases of lipoma and 2 cases of papilloma in 79 patients. In the 33 cases of breast benign lesion , the enlarged axillary lymph nodes were seen bilaterally in 12 cases, sum was 1 to 5 in each case, smaller than 2 cm in diameter in 31 cases and uneven density in 13 cases were showed. In the 46 cases of brease carcinoma, the enlarged lymph nodes were seen laterally in 43cases, sum was 1 to 4 in each cases, larger than 2 cm in diameter was showed in 17 cases, and all were even density. There were statistical differences in number, diameter and density of enlarged lymph nodes between two groups. Conclusion The enlarged axillary lymph nodes are of different X-ray features in breast benign lesion and malignant lesion,it is helpful in differential diagnosis of breast diseases.
