[Sonography of male breast lesions and the pathological diagnosis: a retrospective study of 10 years and literature review].

The sonographic features of male breast lesions, which underwent ultrasound examination in our hospital for the past 10 years, were retrospectively analyzed. Sonographic features of these lesions were standardized as BI RADS image lexicon. The differences in ultrasonic malignant signs were assessed between the benign and the malig nant diseases. Between the two groups, incomplete boundary was statistically different. The specificity was above 95% within the two groups in terms of speculated margin, echogenic halo, calcification, axillary lymphadenopathy, thickening of skin and eccentric of mass to the nipple. High-frequency sonographic examination has a high level of differential diagnosis for male breast lesions.
