Abstract :

The present study has endeavored to determine the role of ultrasonography (gray scale & colour Doppler) in defining benign from malignant east masses and to correlate these features to FNAC. 100 patients were included in this study who underwent sonography (gray scale and colour Doppler) and FNAC and correlate these findings to determine sensitivity and specificity, positive and negative predictive value, diagnostic accuracy of imaging of benign and malignant east masses. Ultrasonography (gray scale & colour Doppler) is a non–invasive diagnostic option in patients being evaluated for east pathologies. The value of adding a simple invasive procedure like USG guided FNAC to this enhance the diagnostic accuracy. The results of this study reflect that combination of imaging ultrasonography (gray scale & colour Doppler) and USG guided FNAC offers the best approach to diagnosing a east lesion.
