This article reviews and illustrates the sonographic signs that suggest benign and malignant disease, and discusses the accuracy and limitations of the method.

Key Words: breast • malignancy • adenocarcinoma • ductal carcinoma • fibroadenoma • sonography • spiculation • posterior shadowing • L/T ratio
