Automated sonomammographic-xeromammographic-pathologic correlations in the assessment of carcinoma of the breast.

J Ultrasound Med

November 1993

Division of Nuclear Medicine/Ultrasonography and Pathology, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami Beach, Florida 33140.

Automated sonomammography and xeromammography were compared in a group of 293 patients referred for a variety of symptomatic and asymptomatic conditions. Twenty of the 293 patients had mammographic evidence of carcinoma that was confirmed pathologically. Seventeen of these patients had sonomammographic evidence of a solid mass; 11 of these demonstrated signs of malignancy, such as irregular border, and desmoplastic reaction manifested by thickening of Cooper's ligaments, skin retraction, periductal fibrosis or disruption of architecture.
