Purpose:
The purpose of the study is to assess the role of
high resolution ultrasound as an easy safe modality in young
age group with high risk factor as family history of breast
carcinoma.
Methods & Materials
: With Ethics Committee approval the
study was conducted on 100 Egyptian women less than 35
years with high risk factor for breast carcinoma. With their
ages ranged from 19 years to 35 years with mean age of 26
years.
Results
: Lumps were the most presenting complaint in 31%
of patients, 17% complained from pain, 5% complained from
axillary pain, lastly unilateral nipple discharge was expressed
by 3% of patients. The mammographic parenchymal pattern
was an extremely dense pattern in 31.81% of studied
subjects, 31.81%were heterogeneously dense and in 36.36%
were of scattered fibroglandular pattern. The final diagnosis
reached by histopathological examination and follow up
was as follows: The most common diagnosis was 23 lesions
fibroadenoma. The second most common diagnosis was
13 lesions simple cysts, 5 were malignant, 4 were abscess
formation, 9 were fibrocystic changes, 5 ductectasia, 2
sebaceous cysts while galactocele, and focal mastitis and fat
necrosis were diagnosed as one lesion for each.
Conclusion
: Improvements of high resolution ultrasound
equipment help much more in characterization of breast
masses considering the reliable signs for differentiating
benign frommalignant ones. The present study declared and
approved high resolution sonomammography as a screening
modality in younger high risk females.
e:
mhzahran@link.netCan we adopt high resolution sonomammography as screening modality in female subjects under 35
years with family history of breast cancer?
