10 Ultrasound Examination of Regional Lymph Nodes
corticomedullary differentiation and color pat­tern (in 40 % of cases).
Most authors agree that, in many cases, sonog­raphy does not allow the ultimate de fi nition of the nature of the lymph nodes, although it does detect indirect features that facilitate further diag­nostics. US-guided FNAB with cytological examination is feasible. FNAB increases the sen­sitivity in diagnosis of axillary lymphadenopathy up to 96 %; speci fi city, 94 %; and diagnostic accuracy, 88 %.
10.3 Ultrasound Diagnosis
of Distant Metastases of Breast Cancer
Remote metastases are observed in 6–56 % of patients with breast carcinoma. The most often sites are the peripheral areas of lungs (29–63 %), pleura, bones (5–31 %), mediastinal lymph nodes (8 %), liver, brain, ovaries, and neck lymph nodes
(Rozhkova 1993 ; Zabolotskaya 2006 ) . Much more rarely, it metastasizes in the thyroid gland, pancreas, retroperitoneal or submandibular lymph nodes, anterior abdominal wall, and soft tissues of the extremities (Sinyukova et al. 2007 ) .
Metastases in lungs at an early dissemination are usually multiple (62–78 % of cases) and bilat­eral (71 %), while late metastases exhibit multi­ple affection only in 38 % of cases.
Several imaging modalities, such as X-ray, CT, MRI, and scintigraphy, are utilized to detect remote metastases.
However, the imaging of the organs of the abdominal cavity ( fi rst of all, the liver), pelvis, retroperitoneal space, thyroid gland, soft tissues, pleura at the thoracic wall, and super fi cial lymph nodes is well examined with US (Figs. 10.12 ,
10.13 , and 10.14 ).
The breast itself is much more rarely affected by metastases of malignant neoplasms of other locations, for example, melanoma (Fig. 10.15 ), colorectal, or kidney cancer.

Ultrasound Examination After Breast Surgery

1 1
Complex treatment of patients with breast carcinoma is used in the majority of cases. It includes local methods for primary tumor (sur­gery or radiotherapy) and system in fl uence (chemotherapy, hormone therapy, etc.). Breast cancer treatment usually begins with surgery. Preoperative treatment permits to reduce the mass of the primary tumor and to suppress microme­tastases, which are probable in some patients by the time of diagnosis. Despite a large number of clinical examinations concerning the ef fi cacy of various schemes of treatment, there is no uniform guideline that yields the best results.
The type of surgery is de fi ned by the character of breast pathology, affected breast volume, and the degree of invasion into surrounding tissues. The following types of operations may apply in different situations:
1. Operations for in fl ammatory processes (acute
or chronic mastitis) – dissection and abscess
drainage
2. Operations for benign and malignant neo-
plasms (e.g., fi broadenoma, breast carcinoma,
nodular type of FBD)
Local tumor destruction • Partial mastectomy; less than total mastec-• tomy
Partial mastectomy WITH nipple – resection Lumpectomy or excisional biopsy – Re-excision of the biopsy site for gross – or microscopic residual disease Segmental mastectomy (including wedge – resection, quadrantectomy, tylectomy)
Subcutaneous mastectomy • Total (simple) mastectomy • Bilateral mastectomy for a single tumor • involving both breasts, as for bilateral in fl ammatory carcinoma Modi fi ed radical mastectomy • Radical mastectomy • Extended radical mastectomy • Axillary dissection
3. Plastic surgery Augmentation mammoplasty including • breast implants Breast reduction • Breast lift (mastopexy) • Breast reconstruction
Partial mastectomy removes the gross pri­mary tumor and some of the breast tissue (breast­conserving). There may be microscopic residual tumor.
Radical breast resection removes gland sectors with the tumor (one-third or one half of breast vol­ume), adjacent fascia of pectoralis major together with pectoralis minor, and adipose tissues of sub­clavian, axillary, and subscapular areas at early stages of cancer.
After the operation, US aims to detect compli­cations caused by clumps of blood or lymphatic fl uid due to insuf fi cient drainage in early postoper­ative term. According to Sinyukova and Sholokhov ( 2010 ) , the incidence of seroma is 4 %.
Abundant lymphorrhea results in a fl uid collec­tion within operated tissues. It is sonographically registered as anechoic areas of various sizes with indistinct rough borders, located subcutaneously
