Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
Introduction: Breast tissue can be defined as the modified sweat glands.Various benign and malignant lesions are seen to arise from fibrogalndular tissue. Ultrasonography is usually performed as a first step in the assessment of musculoskeletal soft tissue masses. Using B-mode and Doppler ultrasonograghy we can differentiate benign from malignant musculoskeletal soft tissue masses. Aim: to study the role of b-mode and doppler ultrasonograghy analysis in differentiating benign from malignant breast lumps. Methods: Sixty four patients with breast lumps (48 benign, 16 malignant) were prospectively evaluated using B-mode and doppler ultrasonograghy analysis to assess their role in differentiating benign from malignant lesions. Later the findings obtained were confirmed by histopathological study of masses. Results and Discussion: B- Mode ultrasonography and dopler study showed 93.7% sensitivity, 93.7% specificity, 83.33%positive predictive value,97.8%negative predictivevalue and 93.7% accuracy in differentiating benignfrom malignant lesions.Our study showed that conventional sonography and doppler sonography reliable for diagnosing malignancy, it has good accuracy, good sensitivity ,good specificity,good positive predictive value and good negative predictive. Conclusion: Sonomammography and colour doppler assessment of breast lumps represent an important supplement to histopathological examination and should always be performed when evaluating the same.
