Here we aimed to study the prevalence and clinical significance of intrammamary lymph nodes in 1000 patients undergoing routine screening mammography. Methods: We performed a cross sectional study on 1000 patients attending a radiology clinic for screening mammography. The intramammary lymph node was diagnosed using mammography and confirmed by ultrasound exam. Results: Of 1000 participants, 69 had intrammamary lymph node, with the mean age of 50.3±1.29. In those with intramammary lymph node, 32 (46.4%) had the first time screening, 3 (4.3%) had discharge, 20 (29%) had pain, 8 (11.6%) had palpable mass, 45 (65.2%) had axillary lymph node, 11 (15.9%) had histological distortion, 16 (23.2%) had micro-calcification and 9 (13%) had mass in mammography. The prevalence of intrammamary lymph nodes was highest in the 2nd breast quadrants, both in right and left breast. Discussion: This is an observation of the prevalence and clinical characteristics on intrammamary lymph nodes in an unselected patients attending for routine follow up. Future prospective studies may elucidate more findings of the value of these nodes.[spa] Introducción: Los ganglios linfáticos intramamarios son, en su mayoría, hallazgos benignos; sin embargo, el valor de estos ganglios sigue siendo controvertido. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar la prevalencia y la importancia clínica de los ganglios linfáticos intramamarios en 1.000 pacientes sometidas a una mamografía de cribado rutinaria. Métodos: Realizamos un estudio transversal en 1000 pacientes que acudieron a una clínica de radiología para realizar una mamografía de cribado. El ganglio linfático intramamario se diagnosticó mediante mamografía y se confirmó mediante ecografía. Resultados: De 1000 participantes, 69 tenían ganglio linfático intramamario, con una edad media de 50,3±1,29 años. De las que tenían ganglio linfático intramamario, 32 (46,4%) tenían la primera exploración, 3 (4,3%) tenían secreción, 20 (29%) tenían dolor, 8 (11,6%) tenían masa palpable, 45 (65,2%) tenían ganglio linfático axilar, 11 (15,9%) tenían distorsión histológica, 16 (23,2%) tenían microcalcificación y 9 (13%) tenían masa en la mamografía. La prevalencia de los ganglios linfáticos intramamarios fue mayor en los segundos cuadrantes mamarios, tanto en la mama derecha como en la izquierda. Discusión: Se trata de una observación de la prevalencia y las características clínicas de los ganglios linfáticos intramamarios en una paciente no seleccionada que acude a un seguimiento rutinario. Futuros estudios prospectivos podrán dilucidar más hallazgos sobre el valor de estos ganglios.Reial Acadèmia de Medicina de les Illes Balears2022info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://ibdigital.uib.es/greenstone/sites/oai-site/collect/medicinaBalear/index/assoc/AJHS_Med/icina_Ba/lear_202/2v37n2p0/92.dir/AJHS_Medicina_Balear_2022v37n2p092.pdfhttp://ibdigital.uib.es/greenstone/library/collection/medicinaBalear/document/AJHS_Medicina_Balear_2022v37n2p092Academic Journal of Health Sciences is continuation of Medicina Balearreponame:Biblioteca Digital de les Illes Balearsinstname:Universidad de las Islas BalearesInglésAcademic Journal of Health Sciences 2022, Vol. 37, N.2, pp. 92-95All rights reservedinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessmedicinaBalear:AJHS_Medicina_Balear_2022v37n2p0922026-05-28T12:40:11Z
