In patients over the age of 40 years, both modalities are performed and interpreted in tandem. Any lesion classified as benign must be benign on both modalities. In patients under the age of 30 years, ultrasound is the primary imaging modality. In all cases of lesions other than those which are absolutely benign, real time review by the radiologist is mandatory. Review of the mammogram is essential when interpretation of an ultrasound is performed. Considers consensus definitions of anatomical borders (see table). probably represents normal compressed tissue consistent with a non-infiltrative process.
it is best seen on anterior/posterior margins, perpendicular to the beam.thin echogenic pseudocapsule in a wider than deep nodule: 99%.gently curving smooth lobulations (Although inflammatory breast cancer (T 4d) is a subcategory of LABC, it is a distinct. This includes T3 or T 4 tumors and any N 2 or N 3 disease (Stage IIB-T 3 N 0 to Stage III, AJCC 2003).
well circumscribed, hyperechoic tissue: ~100% Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) is a term that encompasses breast cancer that is inoperable or is operable only by mastectomy at initial presentation. in general terms, benign lesions compress with transducer pressure and malignant lesions displace the breast tissue without changing in height this is the basis for elastographyīenign characteristics (with negative predictive values). is seen as projection from a nodule which extends radially within or around a duct towards the nipple. multiple projections from the nodule within or around ducts extending away from the nipple, usually seen in larger tumors. sonographic posterior acoustic shadowing: 50%. when a larger breast size means there is more breast tissue to remove. small lobulations 1-2 mm on the surface risk of malignancy rises with increasing numbers Sometimes, after immediate flat closure, some people need a second procedure. except in certain grade III Invasive ductal carcinomas. alternate hypo-hyperechoic lines radiating perpendicularly from surface of nodules (if lesion is surrounded by echogenic tissue, hypoechoic strands will be seen if lesion is surrounded by fat, echogenic strands may be seen). breast augmentation, breast lifts, and more. Radiographic features Ultrasound Malignant characteristics (with positive predictive values) By combining various forms of body lift procedures, patients can improve definition and contours. Removing additional tissue would affect the chest contours negatively and make the result appear unnatural. Only excess breast tissue is removed since all men have some breast gland tissue. 
Benign and malignant characteristics of breast lesions at ultrasound allow the classification as either malignant, intermediate or benign based on work published by Stavros et al. The goal of male breast reduction is always a natural appearance and a masculine contour to the chest.
