Abstract
Aims & Objectives: Evaluation of role of mammogram and ultrasonogram imaging in assessing patients with breast lump.
To help clinician whether go for biopsy or follow up the patients after imaging evaluation of breast lump by the ultrasonogram and mammogram.
Result: 24 patients out of 60 patients of palpable breast lump had benign lesion. 8 patients suspicious assessment on usg and mammogram of which 3 patients were diagnosed malignant on biopsy.
28 patients of 60 palpable lump had negative imaging assement finding on both usg and mammogram
Conclusion: Combined mammographic & ultrasonographic assessment was shown to be useful in identifying benign as well as malignant breast lesion.3 malignant lesion diagnosed out of 60 breast lump cases..
Keywords: Biopsy, mammography, sonography, breast lump.
