INTRODUCTION: The four main roles of ultrasound in Breast imaging are-primary screening, supplemental screening, diagnosis and Interventional procedures. Palpable masses, abnormal nipple discharge and mammographic abnormalities constitute the most common indication for targeted Breast Ultrasound. AIM: To study the role of Ultrasound in evaluating Breast lesions and characterising them as Benign or Malignant. MATERIAL AND METHODS:This is a Retrospective analysis conducted in Department of Radiology, MGM Medical College and Hospital, Kamothey, Navi Mumbai from February 2021 to June 2021. A total of 136 patients with signs and symptoms related to breast lesions were screened. CONCLUSION: The advent of high frequency probe, easy accessibility, cost effectiveness, reliability and relatively easy to perform makes ultrasound as the prime modality of choice for screening breast lesions.

Purpose. Assessing the role of breast MRI compared to galactography in patients with unilateral bloody or serous-bloody nipple discharge.Materials and Methods. Retrospective study including 53 unilateral discharge patients who performed galactography and MRI. We evaluated the capability of both techniques in identifying pathology and distinguishing between nonmalignant and malignant lesions. Lesions BIRADS 1/2 underwent follow-up, while the histological examination after surgery has been the gold standard to assess pathology in lesions BIRADS 3/4/5. The ROC analysis was used to test diagnostic MRI and galactography ability.Results. After surgery and follow-up, 8 patients had no disease (15%), 23 papilloma (43%), 11 papillomatosis (21%), 5 ductal cancer in situ (10%), and 6 papillary carcinoma (11%) diagnoses. Both techniques presented 100% specificity; MRI sensitivity was 98% versus 49% of galactography. Considering MRI, we found a statistical association between mass enhancement and papilloma (P<0.001; AUC 0.957; CI 0.888–1.025), ductal enhancement and papillomatosis (P<0.001; AUC 0.790; CI 0.623–0.958), segmental enhancement and ductal cancer in situ (P=0.007; AUC 0.750; CI 0.429–1.071), and linear enhancement and papillary cancer (P=0.011).Conclusions. MRI is a valid tool to detect ductal pathologies in patients with suspicious bloody or serous-bloody discharge showing higher sensitivity and specificity compared to galactography.

The authors report on a series of 529 consecutive patients examined on physical examination, mammography, nipple discharge cytology and galactography. The criterion for galactography was essentially bloody nipple discharge (73% of cases). Serous nipple discharge was not considered worthy of routine galactography since it is associated with an extremely low incidence of breast cancer. Surgical excision and histologic examination of the discharging duct was performed in 200 cases. Eighteen cases of breast cancer were detected (10 infiltrating, 8 intraductal) of which 9, 6, 7 or 7 were suspected on physical examination, mammography, cytology or galactography, respectively. All combined tests suspected 13 of 18 breast cancers; 3 intraductal breast cancers were biopsied because of evidence of multiple papillomas on galactography, and 2 infiltrating breast cancers were operated because of persistent bloody nipple discharge in the absence of any other sign. No breast cancer was suspected on galactography alone. Galactography is indicated in the presence of bloody nipple discharge, and a biopsy should be performed when breast cancer or multiple papillomas are suspected. The diagnosis and excision of a single papilloma (breast cancer was never misdiagnosed as a single papilloma on galactography) is not worthwhile since a single papilloma is a benign lesion, and the benefit of its excision is still unclear.
