An architectural distortion is a somewhat vague phrase used by radiologists, when the mammogram shows a region where the breasts normal appearance, looks like an abnormal arrangement of tissue strands, often a radial or perhaps a somewhat random pattern, but without any associated mass as the apparent cause of this distortion.
Patients who had architectural distortion on mammography were more likely to have positive margins than patients with masses or calcifications. This may be because architectural distortion on mammography is most commonly due to benign conditions, causing the surgeon to excise with minimal margins.he number of those women in which the architectural distortion would actually represent invasive breast cancer is very low, perhaps 5%-7% of the 4% with architectural distortion, which becomes a very small number.
