Learning objectives To evaluate radiologic findings of mucocele-like tumors of the breast To investigate any differential characteristics between pure benign tumor and associated with high risk lesions such as ADH and DCIS Page 2 of 28
Background Mucocele-like Tumor of the Breast Wide spectrum of lesions from benign to malignancy Fig. 1 How to differential diagnose of mucocele-like tumors? Fig. 2 Imaging findings of Mucocele-like Tumors Mammography -Extent of microcalcifications Page 3 of 28
; malignancy > benign mucocle-like tumors Sonography -Associated with ADH or malignancy, clustered cysts, cysts with thick septations, complex masses Page 4 of 28

Findings and procedure details MATERIALS and METHODS Retrospectively review of surgical pathology database, from January, 2008 to May, 2013 10 patients diagnosed with mucocele-like tumors of the breast-age range, 30-51 years; mean, 42 years Patients and Lesions Initial pathologic diagnosis : sonographic guided core needle biopsy in all cases Final pathologic diagnosis by surgical excision Fig. 3 Imaging analysis Mammography : According to BI-RADS lexicon - Presence or absence of mass, asymmetry and microcalcifications - Mass : shape, margin, density - Microcalcifications : shape, distribution US : Presence or absence of mass, calcifications, or ductectasia Classified description of a masses 1. simple cyst 2. complicated cyst 3. cyst with thin (< 0.5mm) septation Page 6 of 28
4. clustered microcysts 5. cyst with thick ( 0.5mm) septation 6. complex mass 7. solid mass RESULTS Fig. 4 Fig. 5 Page 7 of 28
Case 1 Fig. 6: < 59-year-old woman with benign pure mucocele-like tumor> Sonography shows a mass as simple cyst, defined as anechoic mass with an imperceptible circumscribed border and posterior acoustic enhancement. Pathologic result by sonographic guided core needle biopsy and operation revealed benign lesion. Case 2 Page 8 of 28
Fig. 7: < 43-year-old woman with benign pure mucocele-like tumor > Sonography shows a mass as complicated cyst, defined as lesions with homogeneous low-level echoes or presence of fluid-fluid or fluid-debris level. Pathologic result by sonographic guided core needle biopsy and operation revealed benign lesion. Case 3 Page 9 of 28
Fig. 8: < 28-year-old woman with benign pure mucocele-like tumor > Sonography shows a mass as cyst with thin septation. Pathologic result by sonographic guided core needle biopsy and operation revealed benign lesion. Case 4 Page 10 of 28
Fig. 9: < 43-year-old woman with benign mucocele-like tumor > A. Mammography with craniocaudal view of right breast shows a benign round calcification (arrow). B. Sonography shows a simple cyst with calcification. Pathologic result by sonographic guided core needle biopsy and operation revealed benign lesion. Case 5 Page 11 of 28
Fig. 10: < 51-year-old woman with mucocele-like tumor associated with ADH > Sonography shows a mass with indistinct margin and this is classifed as complex mass, defined as presence of both solid and cystic component. Pathologic result by sonographic guided core was mucocele-like tumor associated with ADH and same result was revealed after operation. Case 6 Page 12 of 28
Fig. 11: <41-year-old woman with mucocele-like tumor associated with DCIS > A, B. Sonography shows irregular ductectasia with intraductal echogenic lesions. Pathologic result by sonographic guided core was mucocele-like tumor associated with DCIS and same result was revealed after operation. Case 7 Fig. 12: < 44-year-old woman with mucocele-like tumor associated with ADH > A. Mammography with craniocaudal view of right breast shows an indistinct irregular shaped hypderdense mass with multiple dystrophic calcifications. B. Sonography shows irregular ductectasia with intraductal echgenoic lesion. Pathologic result by sonographic guided core needle biopsy was pure mucocele-like tumor, but final diagnosis after operation revealed high risk lesion. Page 13 of 28
DISCUSSION Pathogenesis of mucocele-like tumors Fig. 13 Radiologic features of Mucocele-like tumors Most commonly a cystic mass on US (70%) -Similar to previous reports (AJR 2005;185:1310-1316, AJR 2011; 196:1424-1430) Most had benign features, however, if a mass has a feature which is not typically benign (presence of solid portion, irregular ductectasia) Consider associated with high-risk lesion or malignancy Association with ADH, DCIS Fig. 14 Fine needle aspiration : difficult to differentiation pure mucocele-like tumor from mucinous tumor Core needle biopsy : possibility of underdiagnosis Excison is recommeded Imaging spectrum of mucocele-like tumors Page 14 of 28

Fig. 16 [Findings of simple cysts, complicated cysts, cyst with thin septations] Proven to benign in our study, and this is concordant as compared with previous study by Kim et al (AJR 2011; 196:1424-1430) May be possible to manage with follow-up after core biopsy [Findings of complex mass, irregular ductal change] Suspicious malignant finding and should be considered core needle biopsy Prevalence of malignancy 12.5% for complex masses, 33.3% for clustered cysts, 18.2% for cysts with thick septation by Kim et al (AJR 2011; 196:1424-1430) Page 16 of 28

Conclusion Benign mucocele-like tumor usually shows a cyst or cyst with calcification, thin septation. Sonographic findings such as complex mass or irregular ductal change are findings of mucocele-like tumor associated with ADH or DCIS. Sonographic examination can help differentiate pure benign mucocele-like tumor from associated with ADH or DCIS and manage of mucocele-like tumors Page 27 of 28
