유방의 아포크린암종: 증례 보고 = Apocrine Carcinoma of the Breast: A Case Report

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Apocrine carcinoma is a rare breast cancer and its frequency is about 0.4% of all breast cancers. Little is known about its clinical behavior and prognosis. To our knowledge, few studies have reported the radiologic appearances of apocrine carcinoma in the breast and there has been no such report from Korea. We describe the sonographic findings of a case of apocrine carcinoma in the breast. The sonographic findings are microlobulated heterogeneous hypoechoic lesion that has a central markedly hypoechoic portion and a peripheral mixture of iso and hypoechgenecity.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

유방의 아포크린암 (apocrine carcinoma)은 0.4% 빈도의 매우 드문 암으로 임상적 경과, 예후 등이 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 이 질환의 영상의학적 보고 역시 드물며 국내에 보고된 바가 없다. 저자들은 미세소엽형의 중심부는 현저한 저에코를 보이며 주변부는 저에코와 등에코가 섞인 유방의 아포크린암을 1예 경험하였기에 보고하고자 한다.
