Ultrasound is an inexpensive, simple test that doesn't cause any discomfort or anxiety from claustrophobia as an Mammography might. Ultrasound tests also don't emit any radiation, so they are safe for just about everyone. They also offer very clear images, better than those produced by an X-ray. Ultrasound can provide a more precise diagnosis than a mammogram alone and can better detect very small abnormalities and those in dense breasts. The main objective is the Confirmation of breast cancer by ultrasound, determined false negative by comparison with histopathology report and determined false positive by comparison with histopathology report.A hundred cases were present at oncology institute, they were divided in to tow group 50 were above 35y old and the other one younger than that, first group were examined by ultrasound and mammography, while the second group were examined by ultrasound only.The study showed that about 72% of cases were having malignancy by histopathology, while the other had malignancy by either ultrasound or mammography.28 % were found to be benign case.In conclusion , the accuracy of breast cancer detection by ultrasound helps in decreasing waiting time for histopathological report. Therefore, ultrasound is found to be useful tool to evaluate high risk patient’s especially in young ages.
