aged between 20 to 90 years old, all had breast lesions. 40 of 50 patients have

been examined by mammography followed by ultrasongraphy exam, 10

patients had been examined by ultrsonograhy only; because of aged less than

35 years, pregnant or lactating, those can’t do a mammography. Data were

(40-50) years, lesions occurred most commonly on the left breast more than the
