Abstract
The findings of preoperative ultrasonography in patients with granulomatous lobular mastitis treated in Xintai People′s Hospital from December 2013 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Among 15 cases of granulomatous lobular mastitis confirmed by pathology, there were 6 cases of mass type, 5 cases of tubular type and 4 cases of mixed type diagnosed by ultrasound before operation, which were consistent to pathological diagnosis in 3, 4, 3, respectively. On the ultrasound images, the blood flow signals are more rich, the tubular and mixed type have certain specificity, and color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) usualy can make correct diagnosis. For the atypical mass lesions, the final diagnosis can be made by ultrasound-guided needle aspiration biopsy. Key words: Granulomatous mastitis; Ultrasonography
