[Abstract] Objective: To analyse the MR imaging of phyllodes tumors and improve the diagnosis level.Materials and Methods: The MRI data of 8 patients with phyllodes tumors of the breast verified by histopathology were analyzed. The MRI features analyzed included morphology, signal intensity on pre-enhanced T1WI, appearance of dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE-MRI), the type of time-signal intensity curve (TIC), and the features on DWI. The ADC values for phyllodes tumor and normal breast tissue were compared using paired t test.Results: The pathologic diagnosis of the 10 phyllodes tumors inclulding 6 benign, 3 borderline and 1 malignant. Of the 10 tumors, 6 were lobular and 4 were oval in shape; the margins were well-defined in 7 cases, and ill-defined in 3 cases. All tumors were hypointensity on T1WI, and hyperintensity on T2WI or STIR; Moreover, internal septations which appeared low signal intensity on T2WI in 2 tumors and hyperintense fluid-filled slit-like spaces in 2 tumors on T2WI FS or STIR were seen. On DCE-MRI, all of the tumors showed rapid initial enhancement, type I of TIC were shown in 2 cases and typeⅡ in 8 cases. Nine patients underwent DWI were all showed high signal, the mean ADC value for phyllodes tumors[(1.32±0.18)×l0-3 mm3/s] was significantly lower than that of the normal breast tissue[(1.90±0.21)×l0-3 mm3/s, t=2.33, P<0.05].Conclusion: The imagig findings of phyllodes tumors on MR is characteristic but not specific, the final diagnosis still depends on the histopathologic examination.
