Study Of Breast Lesions Using Mammographyand Ultrasonography.

Abstract

Objective of this study is to study the breast lesions using mammography and

ultrasonography. Participants were a consecutive sample of 50 female patients

aged between 20 to 90 years old, all had breast lesions. 40 of 50 patients have

been examined by mammography followed by ultrasongraphy exam, 10

patients had been examined by ultrsonograhy only; because of aged less than

35 years, pregnant or lactating, those can’t do a mammography. Data were

analyzed using simple excel program between mammography finding &

ultrasound findings. Results of this study were that most affected age group is

(40-50) years, lesions occurred most commonly on the left breast more than the

right breast, most speared malignant lesion type is grade three invasive ductal

carcinoma and benign lesion is fibro-adenoma. The study concluded that

mammography is useful in early detection of breast cancer, mammography is

not helpful in dense breast, ultrasonography is complementary for

mammography, and it helpful in scanning women with mammographically

dense breast tissue, and in scanning of young female patients; who cannot do a mammographic exam, examination of breast using mammography and ultrasonography is the key to survival
