At ultrasonography (US), purely or predominantly echogenic breast masses are rare. These
lesions were once assumed to be benign, but recent data suggest that approximately 0.5 …

Hyperechogenicity in the breast on ultrasound (US) is usually regarded as a benign feature
with only rare hyperechoic malignancies reported to date. In this study, we evaluated the …

Background Most of the breast lesions show hypoechogenicity relative to fat on
ultrasonography. The frequency and malignancy rate of hyperechoic lesions are not …

Objectives Hyperechogenicity has been strongly associated with benign breast lesions.
Although it is correct in most cases, hyperechogenicity must not always be considered …

Although breast lesions are commonly detected because of their hypoechogenicity, some
lesions may present with hyperechogenicity due to their histological components …

OBJECTIVE. Breast ultrasound is helpful in the characterization of masses to differentiate
benign from malignant disease. The internal echotexture of a mass is an important ultra …

Irregular hypoechoic masses in the breast do not always indicate malignancies. Many
benign breast diseases present with irregular hypoechoic masses that can mimic carcinoma …

OBJECTIVE. The purposes of our study were, first, to evaluate the frequency, clinical
presentation, and associated imaging findings of malignant breast lesions presenting as …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to determine the proportion of invasive lobular
carcinomas with increased sonographic echogenicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A …

Hyperechoic lesions are not a frequent finding at breasts ultrasonography, and most of times
are associated with benign pathologies that do not require further evaluation. However …
