Management of breast lumps:
- women aged>40 years with palpable mass[1]
- Diagnostic mammography is considered as the first step
- If the last screening test is related to more than 6 months, both breast mammography is required to rule out occult malignancy
- No further evaluation is needed in case of clearly benign mass in mammography
- Ultrasound imaging is required for the rest of cases appeared in mammography
- Stereotactic biopsy is recommended in negative ultrasound findings addition to suspicious mammographic results
- Women aged<40 years with palpable mass[2] [3]
- Ultrasound or mammography is suggested for initial management of women aged between 30 to 39 years
- Ultrasound is the first step for women< 30 years presenting with palpable mass
Approach to breast lumps in women aged >40 years based on mammographic results[1] :
- If the mammographic results become negative,the next step is targeted ultrasound
- Negative ultrasound results considered as BI-RADS 1, then clinical follow-up is needed
- Benign ultrasound results considered as BI-RADS 2, then clinical follow-up is needed
- Probably benign results considered as BI-RADS 3, then ultrasound short interval follow-up is needed
- Suspicious ultrasound results considered as BI-RADS 4 or 5, then core-needle biopsy is needed
