Abstract:
A lump in the breast is a cause of great concern. High frequency, high-resolution USG helps in its evaluation.

Several studies in the past have addressed the issue of differentiating benign from malignant lesions in the breast. The American College of Radiology has also brought out a BIRADS-US classification system for categorizing focal breast lesions.
