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 previous 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 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
  • If mammographic results show only fatty tissue
    • considered as BI-RADS 1, then clinical follow-up is needed
  • If mammographic results show benign mass
    • considered as BI-RADS 2, then clinical follow-up
  • If mammographic results are in favor of probably benign lumps, the next step is targeted ultrasound
    • Negative ultrasound results considered as BI-RADS 3,then mammographic short interval follow-up is required
    • Benign ultrasound results considered as BI-RADS 2, then clinical follow-up is required
    • Probably benign ultrasound results considered as BI-RADS 3, then ultrasound short interval follow-up
    • Suspicious ultrasound results is considered as BI-RADS 4 or 5,then core needle biopsy is required
  • If mammographic result is in favor of suspicious lesion, the next step is ultrasound to determine biopsy plan
    • Considered as BI-RADS 4 or 5, then core needle biopsy is required

Approach to breast lumps in women aged <40 years based on targeted ultrasound findings:

  • If ultrasound results become negative, there are two approaches:
    • Considered as BI-RADS 1, then clinical follow-up is required
    • Perform diagnostic mammography
      • Negative results are in favor of BI-RADS 1, then clinical follow-up is required
      • Benign results are considered as BI-RADS 2,then clinical follow-up is required
      • Probably benign results considered as BI-RADS 3, Mammographic short interval follow-up is required
      • Suspicious results considered as BI-RADS 4 or 5, then core needle biopsy is required
  • If ultrasound results show benign findings
    • Considered as BI-RADS 2, then clinical follow-up is required
  • If ultrasound results show probably benign findings
    • Considered as BI-RADS 3, then short interval follow-up is required
  • If ultrasound results become suspicious
    • Considered as BI-RADS 4 or 5, then core needle biopsy is required
