Abstract:
This was a retrospective cross sectional study aimed to characterized of female breast tumors using ultrasonography. Study conducted from August 2018 up to December 2018 in Omer Sawy Hospital .
The machine used in the study was neurosoft with 7.5 MHz. The data was analyzed using SPSS.
The results showed that difference in diagnosis were related to past history , family history , and breast side was not supported and diagnosis did not dependent on past history, family history, and breast site . Whereas diagnosis was differ for different age groups, that it was carcinoma for who were 40 years or more , while it was fibroadenoma for who were less than 40 years old. The hypothesis that difference in diagnosis were related to age was supported and diagnosis dependent on age. That most of final diagnosis was differ for different quadrant , echogenicity, and margin , since most of carcinoma tumors were at upper outer , and upper inner , while most of fibroadenoma tumors were at upper outer and lower outer . Most of carcinoma tumors were iso or hypo , while the majority of fibroadenoma tumors were hypo. And the majority of carcinoma tumors were ill define , while all fibroadenoma tumers were well define. Whereas the number of masses for both carcinoma and fibroadenoma were solitary and the diagnosis did not were similar in number of masses.
Self-examination is very important to discover the masses early so the output of treatment is best. The patient who diagnosed with breast cancer must be examined with ultrasound every six months to detect any growing mass.
