Mucocele-like lesions (MLLs) of the breast are rare lesions described as dilated, mucin-filled cysts associated with rupture and extracellular mucin in the surrounding stroma. These lesions are of clinical concern because they can coexist with a spectrum of atypical and malignant findings, including atypical ductal hyperplasia, ductal carcinoma in situ, and invasive carcinoma including mucinous carcinoma. Imaging findings of MLLs are nonspecific and varied, although the most common initial finding is that of incidental coarse heterogeneous calcifications on mammography. Occasionally, an asymmetry or mass may be found with or without calcifications, and such MLLs have a higher rate of upgrade to malignancy at excision. Pathology findings are often descriptive given the small sample received from percutaneous biopsy, and the primary consideration is to report any associated atypia, including atypical ductal hyperplasia. There is consensus in the literature that MLLs with atypia on biopsy should undergo excision because of the average reported 17.5% (20/114) upgrade rate to malignancy. The upgrade rate for MLLs without atypia averages 4.1% (14/341). Therefore, imaging surveillance may be a reasonable alternative to excision for MLLs with no atypia on a case-by-case basis. We review MLL imaging findings, pathology findings, and clinical management and present 3 cases from our institution to add to the literature on these rare lesions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
