ABSTRACT
PURPOSE : To demonstrate the ultrasonographic findings in the diagnosis of intraductal papilloma by comparingit with mammography and ductography. MATERIAL & METHODS : The findings of mammography (n = 22), ultrasonography (n= 15), and ductography (n = 5) were analyzed in 25 women with intraductal papilloma. RESULTS : The mammographicfindings were asymmetric focal increase in density (n = 4 ; 18%), mass without calcification (n = 6 ; 27%), masswith calcification (n = 2 ; 9%), and calcification only (n = 1 ; 5%). Nine studies (41%) showed no abnormalfindings. The ultrasonographic findigns were ductal dilatation with a mass (n = 7 ; 47%), mass only (n = 5 ; 33%),and intracystic mass (n = 3 ; 20%). There is no case of normal findings on ultrasonography. Three ductograms (60%)showed a filling defect within duct ; the other two studies were normal. CONCLUSION : Ultrasonography offers veryuseful findings in early detecting the intraductal papilloma in conjunction with mammography and ductography.
