Sonomammography is an ideal, noninvasive, painless and accurate procedure used to detect and evaluate breast masses. In this study, detection evaluation and characterization of breast masses was done with ultrasound for a period of seven months from March 2017 to September 2017.Material & Methods: 106 patients from Department of Surgery and Obstetrics & Gynaecology were screened by clinical and ultrasound examination. Histological confirmation was done by fine needle as piration cytology andexcision biopsy.Results: On examination, the distribution of lesions were fibroadenoma, fibrocystic disease, mastitis, breast cyst, abscess, galactocele, fat necrosis, lipoma, papilloma, invasive ductal carcinoma and invasive lobular carcinoma.Conclusion: Sonomammography is a powerful tool to evaluate breast masses as it is less affected by tissue density. It improves the visualization of tumours in radio dense breasts and as well as improves the specificity of mammography when used in conjunction.
