The investigation was based on the ultrasound and mammographic examination of 630 patients with different patterns of fibroadenoma and 23--with carcinoma of the breast. Sonography should be carried out in step with menstrual cycle when diffuse hyperplasia of glandular tissue is registered. Minimal lobular cancers present most difficulties. Detection of a "node" should not be seen as the dividing line between tumor and fibroadenoma. In cases of fibroadenoma, sonography should be sometimes supplemented by mammography. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy should be used to clarify radiological evidence.

The echographic features of different neoplasms of the breast were studied in 449 patients. The most frequent-symptoms of carcinoma, fibroadenoma and cyst and their significance for differential diagnosis are discussed. A diagnostic procedure is suggested for use in ultrasonic examination of the breast.

The echographic and mammographic features of diagnosis neoplasms of the breast were studied in 447 patients. Shows its potentialities in the diagnosis. Supplementing each other, each technique yield the maximum intermation.

203 cases of breast pathology were examined using mammography and sonography, the latter procedure yielding, on the whole, more information. The sensitivities of both procedures in cases of breast cancer were 93.65 and 98.4%, respectively. Data on misdiagnosis are analyzed. A modality of mammography and sonography application for diagnosis of node formation in the breast is suggested.

The results of examination of 1,080 patients operated for carcinoma tuberosum of the breast at the clinic of the Institute in 1968-1978 are discussed. Distinct boundary of tumor growth was established in 281 cases by gross examination of tissue obtained by mastectomy. The results of X-ray examination were improved by means of histotopographic sections of tissue specimens in 100 cases. It was shown that distinct boundary of the growth of carcinoma tuberosum of the breast may be adequately identified in most cases on the basis of mammographic evidence (even, undulate or polycyclic contour of malignancy). Also, it was established that mammography offers a more adequate means of preoperative identification of the actual size of tumor than palpation does. An analysis of the mammographic picture contributes to the choice of the most efficient scheme of treatment of breast cancer patients.
