摘要
Background: Ultrasound (US) is a standard modality to diagnose breast diseases. To elucidate the usefulness of US in the diagnosis of nonpalpable breast cancers, we reviewed the cases that were treated at our institution. Methods: Of the 106 cancers that were operated upon at the Tsukuba University Hospital between February 2004 and March 2005, 12 cancers were nonpalpable. We reviewed their US findings, results of US-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), core biopsy results, and histological diagnoses. Results: On US, 9 tumors appeared as masses. The US observations were valuable, but a confirmatory diagnosis could not be made. US-guided FNAC was performed in 8 cases; malignancy was suspected in 6 cases. US-guided core biopsy was performed in 9 cases, and it was diagnostic in 7 cases. Conclusions: Nonpalpable breast cancers can be effectively detected by US, and the diagnosis can be confirmed by US-guided FNAC or core biopsy.
