概要 These lesions showed a relatively round shape and increased posterior echo enhancement with internal hyperechogenicity on ultrasonography. Among 17 resected cases suspected of malignancy that showed rapid growth and/or size greater than 3 cm, 16 cases were myxomatous fibroadenoma. Tumors showing rapid growth and a relatively large size, a high depth to width ratio, a relatively round shape, and posterior echo enhancement with internal hyperechogenicity on ultrasonography require differentiation from (mucinous) carcinoma but are histologically more likely to be myxomatous fibroadenoma. Understanding the histologic features and combining the ultrasonography findings of myxomatous fibroadenomas may permit reduction in the number of unnecessary needle biopsies for tumor-forming lesions.
