Abstract
The objective of the study was to assess breast masses by ultra sonography as probably benign, so that biopsy can be deferred. We have evaluated 336 patients with songraphically visible solid breast masses, which were advised biopsy. Mammography and sonography features were recorded and all masses were characterized by American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System classification (BIRADS) before biopsy. Of the 336 masses 34 were catagorized as probably benign (breast imaging reporting and data system). Sonography guided biopsy or fine needle aspiration was performed for pathologic correlation. A total of 34 masses were selected that met the sonographic criteria for probably benign masses and there was 1 malignancy for a negative predictive value of 97.05%. Follow up can be an acceptable alternative to biopsy for sonographically probably benign masses. Keywords: Breast, Biopsy, Malignant, Benign, Ultra sonography, BIRADS.
