INTRODUCTION We determined whether it is safe to avoid mammograms in a group of symptomatic women with a non-suspicious history and clinical examination. PATIENTS AND METHODS Symptomatic women aged 35 years or over newly referred to a rapid-diagnosis breast clinic underwent mammography on arrival in the clinic. A breast radiologist reported on the mammograms. An experienced clinician who was unaware of the mammogram findings examined patients and decided whether a mammogram was indicated or not. If not, a management plan was formulated. Mammogram findings were then provided to the clinician and any change to the original management plan as a result of mammography was recorded. RESULTS In two-thirds (67%) of 218 patients, the clinician felt a mammogram was indicated. Half (46%) of these mammograms showed an abnormality; of these abnormal mammograms, 41% were breast cancer. Among the third (n = 71) of mammograms felt not to be indicated, 3 showed abnormalities of which 2 were breast cancer. One cancer was not suspected clinically or mammographically but was diagnosed on cyto/histopathological assessment. CONCLUSIONS A significant proportion of patients attending a symptomatic breast clinic have a non-suspicious history and normal clinical findings on examination. However, even in this group avoiding mammograms risks missing clinically occult breast cancers. It would appear sensible to offer mammograms to all symptomatic women over 35 years of age.

69 Background: With increasing usage of diagnostic cross sectional radiology tests, patients are presenting to rapid access one-stop breast clinic with incidental breast lesions. Methods: A prospective study over a 3-year period, collecting details of all patients shown to have breast abnormalities detected by computed tomography (CT) scans done for various reasons. These patients were assessed by clinical breast examination coupled with mammography, ultrasonography and tissue biopsy if indicated. Results: An increasing trend has been seen in the total number of thoracic CT scans with 1,939 scans in 2005 and 5,215 scans in 2010 (169% increase). 26 patients were included in this study with CT scans showing incidental breast lesions in the last three years. They were all women with age range of 50-92 (median 82.5) years. The clinical indications of CT scans included evaluation of the abnormal chest radiograph (8, 31%), preoperative evaluation of non-breast malignancy (3, 11%), infectious diseases (3, 11%), weight loss (7, 27%) and miscellaneous (5, 20%). These 13 breast cancer patients constitute 1.36% of 956 breast cancers diagnosed over this three-year period. 8 out of 13 breast cancer patients in this group (62%) had metastases at the time of diagnosis. Conclusions: A significant number of breast lesions incidentally found on CT scans are shown to be breast cancers (50%). These patients need rapid access to one-stop breast clinic for full evaluation. [Table: see text]

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to detect diagnostic accuracy of mammography and ultrasound combined versus ultrasound alone in early evaluation of symptomatic breast lesions.Materials and Methods: All new patients who presented to the breast clinic with symptomatic breast lesions, during the year 2012, were included in the study. A total of 695 patients were registered. Their clinical findings, mammogram, ultrasound and histopathology were reviewed.Results: Mammogram and ultrasound combined detected 693 (99.71%) lesions in total. Mammogram failed to detect lesions in 1.43% of patients, whereas the failure rate of ultrasound was 0.43%. The incidence of microcalcifications on mammogram was 19.13%.Conclusion: Ultrasound is a useful tool in the initial evaluation of symptomatic breasts. For places such as Pakistan where mammogram is not available at every centre, ultrasound can be used as an effective alternative for the assessment of symptomatic breast lesions.Key words: Breast cancer, mammography, ultrasound
