ABSTRACT: Breast cysts (galactocele) form in the mammary gland
from ductal obstruction. Multiple pathologic entities may produce complex
cystic breast lesions. Ultrasound is presently the first primary modality in
breast evaluation after physical palpitation. We report a progressive case of multiple
cysts in a 32-year-old woman, ranging from 28 mm to 20 mm. Though in-situ milk (sono-penic) appears sterile,
the superficial presentation (externally) is that of a firm mass. Due to the
known hazards of radioactive mammography, this case report proves the
usefulness of sonar to image, map, measure, identify and diagnose breast
pathology. In
women with dense-heavy breast, ultrasound examination will play an important
role in screening palpable and non-palpable masses.
