Overview
Ultrasound can be done in gynecomastia when physical findings of a patient raise suspicion of breast cancer.
Ultrasound
- There are no ultrasound findings associated with gynecomastia. However, ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of malignant breast lesions.[1]
- Ultrasound has 100 percent sensitivity and negative predictive value of detecting malignant breast lesions.[2]
- Positive predictive value of ultrasound studies is only 17 percent, so it is mainly done in gynecomastia if history and physical examination of patient raise any malignancy suspicions.[3]
