Abstract

Introduction: We aimed at evaluating the results of radiological [ultrasonography (US), mammography and magnetic resonance (MR)] exams in the follow-up of patients undergoing reduction mammaplasty. Methods: We evaluated the postoperative bilateral breast US and mammography of 21 patients who underwent breast reduction surgery. Breast MR results of 9 patients with suspicious lesions were included in the examination. Results: Postoperative radiological findings from all three imaging modalities were parenchymal distortion, rough calcification, fat cyst, focal fibrosis, fat necrosis, nipple retraction, malignant-like peripheral contrast, nodular lesion, malignant-like distortion and fluid collection with skin thickening. One patient eventually underwent a cyst excision and a tru-cut biopsy presented no malignant lesion was found. Conclusion: Few studies demonstrate the radiological findings in the follow-up of patients following a mammaplasty, thereby prompting this study. After surgery, changes can occur in the breast of the patients that radiologically mimic malignancy. This can lead to unnecessary invasive procedures to rule out malignant changes. Thus, our study comes in to avoid these excess and unnecessary procedures.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmamız redüksiyon mamoplasti ameliyatı geçiren hastaların takibinde radyolojik [ultrasonografi (US), mamografi ve manyetik rezonans (MR)] görüntüleme sonuçlarını değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yöntemler: Ameliyat sonrası bilateral meme US’nin retrospektif değerlendirmesi ve meme küçültme ameliyatı geçiren 21 hastanın mamografisi yapıldı. Lezyon şüphesi olan 9 hastanın meme MR sonuçları muayeneye dahil edildi. Bulgular: Parankimal distorsiyon, kaba kalsifikasyon, yağ kisti, fokal fibrozis, yağ nekrozu, meme başı retraksiyonu, malign benzeri periferik kontrast, nodüler lezyon, malign benzeri distorsiyon ve deri kalınlaşması ile sıvı toplanması üç görüntüleme yöntemini de içeren postoperatif radyolojik bulgulardı. Sonunda 1 hastaya kist eksizyonu ve tru-cut biyopsi yapıldı. Malign lezyon bulunmadı. Sonuç: Meme küçültme ameliyatı sonrası hastaların takibinde saptanan radyolojik bulguları ve önemini gösteren az sayıda çalışma vardır. Ameliyat sonrasında hastaların meme dokularında radyolojik olarak maligniteyi taklit eden değişiklikler meydana gelebilir. Bu, kötü huylu değişiklikleri ekarte etmek için gereksiz invaziv prosedürlere yol açabilir. Cerrahların, radyologların ve onkologların bu konuda daha dikkatli olmaları gerekir.
