Grade 3 invasive breast cancer masquerading as a haematoma - the importance of concordance in the clinical and imaging pathway.

Cystic lesions of the breast are an everyday encounter in the symptomatic breast clinic. While the vast majority of cystic lesions are benign, it is important to be aware of the imaging manifestations that indicate a sinister pathology and the pitfalls of biopsy in a complex cystic lesion which make the diagnosis challenging. We present a case of cystic Grade 3 breast cancer and highlight the imaging characteristics and clinicoradiological concordance that achieved the correct diagnosis.

Correlation of Strain Elastography with Conventional Sonography and FNAC/Biopsy.

Introduction: Elastography is a new promising technique that can be especially helpful when used as an adjunct to conventional B-mode ultrasound in evaluating breast lesions.

Aim: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of four interpretation criteria for elastography and to compare the diagnostic performance of sonoelastography with that of conventional sonography in characterising breast lesions as benign or malignant with FNAC/biopsy correlation.

Materials And Methods: One hundred breast lesions were prospectively evaluated by ultrasound as well as by strain elastography followed by FNAC/ biopsy correlation.
