Case Discussion
The ultrasound image shows a very alarming solid mass that has all the sonographic criteria of a sinister solid breast mass in an older patient. Normal mammogram.
Up to 10 % of breast cancers are mammographically occult. Even with that wonderful instrument called the retrospectoscope. Which is why we ultrasound palpable lesions. This cancer was completely invisible on all mammogram images.
