In the past few years ultrasonography of the breast for evaluation of radiologically dense breasts or cysts has been become the 1st line of investigation.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: center 2.75in right 5.5in left 6.25in;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: ";Arial Narrow";,";sans-serif";; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Aims and Objectives</span></strong><span style="font-family: ";Arial Narrow";,";sans-serif";; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">: To assess the role of ultrasonography in diagnosis of palpable breast lumps.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: center 2.75in right 5.5in left 6.25in;"><span style="font-family: ";Arial Narrow";,";sans-serif";; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">The most important clinical use of ultrasound imaging is its ability to differentiate between solid and cystic masses, benign and also by knowing the prior diagnosis the need for open biopsy and followed by surgery, the cost and time involved can be saved. In patients with dense breasts the FNAC may not hit the exact site of mass and can give inconclusive diagnosis. When Ultrasonography can pick up abscess of breast, needle aspiration can be done instead of incision and drainage. Breast ultrasonography should be considered as an extension of physical examination and it will improve the care available to patients and subsequently improve outcomes. Ultrasonography can expedite both diagnosis and treatment</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: center 2.75in right 5.5in left 6.25in;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: ";Arial Narrow";,";sans-serif";; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Results</span></strong><span style="font-family: ";Arial Narrow";,";sans-serif";; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">: On analysis, 68 patients were included in study.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Â </span>The sensitivity of ultrasonography for malignancy was 89.47%.
