The potential association between degree of mammographic spiculation and prognosis
The degree of spiculation relative to the tumor mass on mammography is an unexplored mammographic feature. A high ratio of spiculations in relation to tumor mass was associated with higher age and lower breast density. The nine women with a very high spiculation to tumor mass ratio were all axillary lymph node negative.
