Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Breast cancer is the most common cancer impacting 2.1 million women each year and also relates to the most cancer related deaths in women. In 2018, it was estimated that 627,000 women died from breast cancer which approximates to 15 % of all cancer related deaths among women [1]. The triple test– clinical examination, mammography and core biopsy helps in differentiating benign and malignant lesions. Histopathological examination is considered being the gold standard test for confirming malignant lesions and forms the basis of management. AIM: To assess sensitivity of mammogram with ultrasonography in diagnosing various breast lesions and to correlate the categorized breast lesions (BI-RADS) with histopathology reports and thereby obtain specificity and NPV of evaluation using Mammogram and ultrasonography. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective analytical study. Study Period: July 2018 – July 2019. METHODS: The results of ultrasonography and mammography of 72 cases diagnosed clinically with breast lesions over the period of one year in tertiary health care hospital were compared with histopathology reports. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 45.65 ± 3.19. Our results showed that in histopathology reports in 20 patients (27.78%) were malignant, 51 cases (70.83%) had benign disease and 1 case 1.39% was borderline malignant. Fibroadenoma was the commonest benign lesion whereas infiltrating ductal carcinoma was the most common malignant lesion. Breast Imaging – Reporting and Data System (BIRADS) by mammogram revealed category II in 54.1%, III in 20.8%, IV in 16.6% and V in 8.3%. The specificity of mammography alone in diagnosing malignant breast lesions was 90.1%. When combined (ultrasound and mammogram), the specificity in diagnosing malignant breast lesion was 98.5% CONCLUSION: Mammography and sono-mammogram plays an important role in the diagnostic and surgical management of breast lesions with correlative histopathology evaluation. The diagnostic accuracy shows significant improvement when mammogram was combined with ultrasound correlation and thereby improving sensitivity and specificity of diagnosing malignant breast lesions.
