Abstract
Breast fibroadenomas are common benign breast tumors and detailed descriptions of their sonographic appearances are necessary for differential diagnosis from other benign lesions or breast cancers.
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the sonographic criteria of breast fibroadenoma. The data was collected from Khartoum breast center. A total of 50 women their ages between 17-36 years with palpable breast lump diagnosed by histopathology as fibroadenoma were scanned by ultrasound machine (GE healthcare Logiq 5) with high frequency transducer 7.5 MHz from April 2016 to August 2016.
The result of this study revealed that the mean age affected by fibroadenoma was in the age group (22-26 years). The dominant sonographic features of fibroadenoma were; hypoechoic, well defined homogenous mass with posterior enhancement and width to height ratio ≥1.4. there were no significant difference between all type of fibroadenoma.
Ultrasonography is the modality of choice for the evaluation of a simple breast fibroadenoma with the typical sonographic features and could eliminate the need for further invasive procedures including biopsy.
