2 Purpose To identify the fundamental role of ultrasound in the diagnosis and management of mastitis patients and in guiding various interventional diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Methods and Materials The study population included 197 female patients with clinical and ultrasound signs suggestive of mastitis. According to kamal, et al, 2009, they were classified into 3 Groups (fig. 1) and (fig. 2): Group 1: Infectious mastitis Group 2: Non infectious mastitis Group 3: Malignant mastitis Infectious mastitis (IM): specific and non specific forms of infections whether primary or complicating already present breast pathologies. Patients usually present with fulminant inflammatory signs that frequently accompany lactation. Non infectious forms of mastitis (NIM): aseptic or chemical inflammatory breast disorders that do not necessarily occur during lactation, are not necessarily accompanied by microbial infections and thus do not usually present with fulminant inflammatory signs and do not necessarily resolve with antibiotics. Malignant mastitis (MM): it is the most serious form of mastitis and includes inflammatory breast carcinoma or the very rare form of malignant breast abscess. US Examination: Ultrasound examination was performed using a linear array (7-13 MHz) transducer. The recorded ultrasound findings of mastitis included: echogenic fat lobules, interstitial edema lines, ill defined collections, skin thickening, prominent subdermal lymphatics, and axillary lymphnode status. The ultrasound report should also include the presence or abscence of associated mass lesions, dilated ducts and draining sinus tracts. Reported findings of Page 2 of 36
3 the performed ultrasound examination were tabulated and compared by the Pearson Chi Square test using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS). US guided interventional procedures: Ultrasound guided biopsy was performed to evaluate suspicious mass lesions when present. Skin punch biopsies, axillary lymphnode biopsy and aspiration from the dilated subdermal lymphatic layer were performed to confirm the diagnosis of inflammatory breast carcinoma. Abscess cavities, infected cysts and post operative collections were drained. Ultrasound " Diagnostic Workup' of mastitis cases: When diagnosing mastitis cases we should pass through several sequential steps (fig. 3): Mastitis is diagnosed on ultrasound examination when the following signs are encountered: interstitial edema lines that delineate the echogenic and edematous fat lobules with overlying focal or diffuse skin thickening. Look for other associated signs. If no other associated signs are seen, simple mastitis is diagnosed. The patient is assured and is asked to come for a short term follow up study after completing an antibiotic course. Complete resolution should be the rule. Non resolution should raise the possibility of development of complications, infection by atypical organisms or inflammatory breast carcinoma. A biopsy should then be considered. If abscess cavities, infected cysts or post operative collections are encountered they should be drained and followed up to ensure no recollection. If pathological lymphnodes, dilated subdermal lymphatics or mass lesions are encountered we should directly resort to biopsy. US guided management: Mastitis patients were managed according to their ultrasound findings into 3 categories: Category 1: were re-assured and were given a short course of antibiotics and hot fomentations. Category 2: were asked to come for a short term follow up study after completion of medical therapy or after performing ultra sound or operative intervention Category 3: were subjected to immediate interventional procedures Page 3 of 36

7 Results One hundred and ninety seven female patients with clinical or ultrasound findings of mastitis were enrolled in the study. We classified them into 3 main groups of mastitis according to the classification previously proposed by the authors (kamal,et al, 2009) (fig. 1). Fig. 1: Classification of mastitis cases. Color code (green: infectious m., red: non infectious m.,blue: malignant m.) References: R. M. K. E.

9 Fig. 2: frequencies and relative frequencies of mastitis cases References: R. M. K. E. Fouad; Radiology, Cairo University, Cairo, EGYPT Group I comprised the higher frequency of mastitis cases (n: 132, 67%) showing predominance of complicated forms of mastitis comprising 79 (40.1 %) patients. Fifty (37.9%) of group I patients were lactating (fig. 4, 5, 6). Group 2 included 54 cases (27.4%) with predominance of periductal mastitis/duct ectasia comprising 32 (16.3%) cases (fig. 7). Group III included 11 (5.6%) cases of malignant mastitis (fig. 8, 9). Table 1 shows the correlation of the ultrasound findings in the 3 study groups stressing on the significance of each sign in differentiating between the different pathological entities of mastitis.

10 The presence of acute inflammatory signs on ultrasound (edematous, echogenic fat lobules and interstitial edema) could significantly differentiate infectious and malignant forms of mastitis (p<0.001) from non infectious forms but could not differentiate infectious from malignant forms (fig. 10). The presence of ill defined collections and abscess cavities in infectious mastitis (p: and 0.026) and the absence of malignant axillary nodes (p: 0.05) are significant differentiating signs between infectious and malignant mastitis (fig. 11, 12). Mass lesions favor noninfectious and malignant forms of mastitis (p: and p: 0.023) over infectious forms. Thickened skin was significantly higher in malignant than infectious and non infectious mastitis (p: 0.01 and p: <0.05 respectively) but no definite cutoff values could be calculated due to the paucity of cases included in the study. Thick skin was also significantly higher in infectious than non infectious mastitis (p:< 0.05) (fig. 10). Dilated ducts are significantly higher in non infectious than infectious and malignant mastitis (p: <0.05). Nine fistulous tracts with draining skin sinuses could be traced on ultrasound examination. Seven were seen draining neglected abscess cavities. Multiple discharging fistulous tracts were traced in a tuberculous patient and another one was seen draining a malignant abscess (fig. 13). According to their ultrasound findings, 83 (42.2%) cases were re-assured and were given a short course of antibiotic therapy and hot fomentations. These included 46 (23.3.%) cases of simple mastitis, 32 (16.3%) cases of periductal mastitis and 5 (2.6%) cases of plasma cell mastitis. They were asked to come for a short term follow up study to ensure complete resolution (fig. 14). Complicated mastitis cases (77 cases, 39.1%) were drained, given a course of antibiotic therapy and were asked to come for a short term follow up ultrasound study to ensure complete resolution (fig. 15). Specific forms of infection (9 cases, 4.6%) were biopsied. They received appropriate therapy according to their culture and sensitivity results. They were followed up along the course of treatment (fig 16). Non infectious mastitis cases, including granulomatous mastitis (3 cases, 1.5%), diabetic mastopathy (2 cases, 1%) and secondary forms of mastitis (12 cases, 6%) were biopsied (fig. 17). Each entity was managed according to the clinical condition. they were asked to come on an annual check up basis. Malignant mastitis cases (11 cases, 5.6%) were biopsied. After mastectomy they were asked to come for a follow up study every 6 months for one and a half year to exclude any possibility of recurrence. Page 10 of 36

Tuberculous mastitis was diagnosed after ultrasound guided biopsy and culture sensitivity of the discharge. Page 25 of 36
26 Conclusion Mastitis is a frequently encountered clinical complaint, yet, there remains a paucity of scientific research discussing inflammatory breast disorders. A common misconception is using the terms mastitis and breast infection as synonymous terms, but strictly speaking mastitis means inflammation of the breast irrespective of the cause. Described mammography signs of mastitis are vague and non specific (2). Adding to this, patients with mastitis have a painful, swollen and dense breasts and thus they cannot withstand adequate mammography compression. Therefore, mastitis patients are usually referred for an early ultrasound examination. Ultrasound plays a fundamental role in the diagnostic work up of mastitis patients. An ideal ultrasound should ensure an accurate diagnosis, guide for interventional procedures whenever necessary and should be used to monitor adequate management by short term follow up studies along the course of therapy. To ensure an adequate diagnosis, the breast ultrasound specialists should bear some tips in mind: Ultrasound inflammatory signs are the same in all mastitis patients. That is why; more effort should be spent to look for supplementary signs. Abscess cavities, ill defined collections in the presence of reactionary nodes should favor an infectious etiology. Remarkable skin thickening with prominent sub-dermal lymphatics, pathological lymphnodes with or without mass lesions should favor a malignant pathology. Dilated ducts associated with inflammatory signs may be in favor of ductal pathology; mainly periductal mastitis. We should never ignore the clinical background of the patient to exclude secondary forms of mastitis. Complete resolution is the rule after a short course of antibiotics if simple mastitis is the case. The second job of the breast ultrasound specialist starts when a patient is resistant to treatment. One of three conditions should be considered: The patient might have an unusual form of infection (e.g. TB). She might have developed complications e.g. abscess cavity. She might have early malignant signs. Page 26 of 36
27 It should be strictly specified in this context that most women with inflammatory breast carcinoma are originally diagnosed as having simple mastitis (3). Most physicians will prescribe antibiotics, If after one week symptoms do not dissipate, a biopsy should be considered (4). Ultrasound guided diagnostic and therapeutic interventional procedures should then play a role. Under all conditions, mastitis patients should be asked to come for a follow up ultrasound study to monitor treatment, ensure complete resolution and exclude recurrence. To sum up, ultrasound examination should replace mammography as the gold standard breast imaging technique in the perspective of inflammatory breast disorders. It should be considered the mainstay in making an accurate diagnosis, in monitoring treatment and in guiding interventional procedures. Images for this section: Page 27 of 36

Her mammogram (A) showed a suspicious lower inner quadrant ill defined mass lesion with overlying focal skin thickening that was categorized as BIRADS4. Her ultrasound examination (B) showed an underlying huge abscess cavity with a surrounding focal inflammatory reaction. The abscess cavity was drained and she came for a post operative follow up ultrasound examination (C) to ensure complete resolution. Page 31 of 36
