Peritumoral edema in breast cancer at preoperative MRI: an interpretative study with histopathological review toward understanding tumor microenvironment
Abstract Peritumoral edema (PE) of breast cancer at T2-weighted MR images is considered a poor prognostic sign and may represent the microenvironment surrounding the tumor; however, its histopathological mechanism remains unclear. The purpose of the study was to identify and describe detailed histop...

The purpose of the study was to identify and describe detailed histopathological characteristics associated with PE at preoperative breast MRI in breast cancer patients. This retrospective study included breast cancer patients who had undergone preoperative MRI and surgery between January 2011 and December 2012. Two radiologists determined the presence of PE in consensus based on the signal intensity surrounding the tumor at T2-weighted images. The following detailed histopathological characteristics were reviewed by two breast pathologists using four-tiered grades; lymphovascular invasion, vessel ectasia, stromal fibrosis, growth pattern, and tumor budding. Tumor necrosis and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes were assessed using a percent scale. Baseline clinicopathological characteristics, including age and histologic grade, were collected. The associations between detailed histopathologic characteristics and PE were examined using multivariable logistic regression with odds ratio (OR) calculation. A total of 136 women (median age, 49 ± 9 years) were assessed; among them 34 (25.0%) had PE. After adjustment of baseline clinicopathological characteristics that were significantly associated with PE (age, T stage, N stage, histologic grade, and subtype, all Ps < 0.05), lymphovascular invasion (P = 0.009), vessel ectasia (P = 0.021), stromal fibrosis (P = 0.024), growth pattern (P = 0.036), and tumor necrosis (P < 0.001) were also associated with PE. In comparison with patients without PE, patients with PE were more likely to have a higher degree of lymphovascular invasion (OR, 2.9), vessel ectasia (OR, 3.3), stromal fibrosis (OR, 2.5), lesser degree of infiltrative growth pattern (OR, 0.4), and higher portion of tumor necrosis (OR, 1.4).
