Specificity of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of benign breast masses

S. H. Heywang, E. R. Lipsit, L. M. Glassman and M. A. Thomas

Ultrasound has become increasingly important in the management of benign breast disease. The main reasons are its ability to distinguish between cystic and solid lesions, its special advantages in examining the dense breast, and the absence of potential radiation hazard. This paper evaluates the specificity of automated ultrasound in the diagnosis of benign lesions. The usefulness of the signs established for the diagnosis of benign masses is analyzed. Atypical lesions are discussed and the role of ultrasonography in the differential diagnosis of benign lesions is reviewed.
