[Diagnosis of breast carcinoma. Value of x-ray findings for the diagnosis of carcinoma in situ of the breast from the clinical point of view].
The x-rays-results of 35 mammae with a carcinoma in situ are presented and compared with those of 2 groups without carcinoma. In contradiction to invasive malignancies the carcinoma in situ do not show pathognomonic signs on x-ray examination. However, suspicion is raised by the appearance of microcalcifications and by striped differences in tissue density. These findings should compell to perform a biopsy, even though the clinical and roentgenologic findings may otherwise suggest a fibrocystic disease. Therefore, provided the discrete signs described in this paper are carefully considered, the technique of mammography may contribute to the pre-operative presumptive diagnosis of carcinoma in situ.
