Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Low-grade adenosquamous carcinoma is a less frequent variant of metaplastic breast carcinoma, incidentally detected during screening and has an age distribution similar to other breast carcinomas. It shares characteristics with both benign and malignant carcinomas: its mammographic and sonographic features are therefore nonspecific. Breast conserving surgery with adjuvant radiation therapy is currently the preferred therapeutic approach. The aim of this review is to describe the imaging and clinical features of low-grade adenosquamous carcinoma for appropriate identification and diagnosis. The associated pitfalls, histopathologic and epidemiologic factors, natural course, and management of low-grade adenosquamous carcinoma are also discussed.
