Sonographic features of invasive ductal breast carcinomas predictive of malignancy grade.

Context: Assessment of individual sonographic features provides vital clues about the biological behavior of breast masses and can assist in determining histological grade of malignancy and thereby prognosis.

Aims: Assessment of individual sonographic features of biopsy proven invasive ductal breast carcinomas as predictors of malignancy grade.

Settings And Design: A retrospective analysis of sonographic findings of 103 biopsy proven invasive ductal breast carcinomas.

Early Detection by Ultrasound of Partial Hydatidiform Mole With a Coexistent Live Fetus.

Introduction: Twin pregnancy with hydatidiform mole and coexistent live fetus is a rare condition with severe maternal and fetal complications such as preeclampsia, vaginal bleeding, persistent gestational trophoblastic tumor, and fetal death.

Case Presentation: We report a case of a twin pregnancy with histopathologically proven hydatidiform mole and a coexistent live fetus in a 30-year-old Indian woman diagnosed by first trimester ultrasound.

Discussion: Our case emphasizes the role of ultrasound in diagnosing this condition in early pregnancy.
