Mammographic and Sonographic Features Reported to Correlate with Basic DCIS Histopathologic Features

DCIS Pathology Feature	Reported Associated Mammographic Feature	Reported Associated Sonographic Feature
High Nuclear Grade	1. Fine linear branching or fine pleomorphic morphology (48) 2. “Casting-type” morphology (52)	Detected on mammogram ± ultrasound (59, 61)
Non–High Nuclear Grade	1. Mammographic mass or asymmetry without calcifications (48, 56, 58) 2. Round/punctate calcifications (58)	Detected at ultrasound alone (59, 61)
Comedonecrosis	1. Branching, “rod-shaped,” ductal distribution (58) 2. “Casting-type” morphology (52) 3. Fine linear branching or fine pleomorphic morphology (48)	Not detected on ultrasound (59)
