Intraductal papillary neoplasms (IPNs) of breast form a wide spectrum of pathological changes with benign intraductal papilloma occupying one end of the spectrum and papillary carcinoma at the other end. Intraductal papillomas are known to occur anywhere within the ductal system and are broadly classified into central and peripheral types. Intraductal papillary carcinoma is an uncommon ductal malignancy forming papillary structures, and these lesions characteristically lack the myoepithelial layer present in benign papillary neoplasms. Three basic patterns of IPNs are recognized on ultrasound - intraductal mass with or without ductal dilatation, intracystic mass and a predominantly solid pattern with the intraductal mass totally filling the duct. Benign papillomas are known to exhibit calcifications which tend to be extremely dense and coarse. IPNs are highly vascular tumours and have a propensity to bleed spontaneously. A distinct vascular pedicle is identified within the central core of IPNs, with branching vessels arborising within the mass. In an older age group, presence of a large solid component and evidence of spontaneous intracystic bleed are more suggestive of papillary carcinomas than benign papillomas. We have serially studied 42 cases of intraductal papillary neoplasms with sonomammography and mammography from 2001 to 2004.
