Abstract：Objective To explore the diagnostic value of ultrasound elastography(UE) scoring method in small breast lumps.Methods Select 99 patients that accept routine breast examination(102 breast lumps,≤2 cm in diameter). A total of 102 breast lumps were divided into group Ⅰ(breast lumps >1-≤ 2 cm in diameter,n=60) and group Ⅱ(breast lumps ≤1 cm in diameter,n=42).The elastographic examination was performed after routine ultrasound examination in all lumps. Application of UE scoring method(5 points scoring method) to score all the breast lumps.Calculate the sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of all the breast lumps ≤2 cm in diameter and group Ⅰ,groupⅡ by UE scoring method. Results Among the 102 breast lumps ≤2 cm,pathological results were benign in 53 and malignant in 49.The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of UE scoring method for the diagnosis of breast lumps(≤2 cm in diameter) were 83.67%,88.68%,86.27%,87.23% and 85.45%,respectively.Compared with group Ⅰ,the sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of UE scoring method were significantly increased in group Ⅱ(80.00%,86.67%,83.33%,85.71% and 81.25% vs 89.47%,91.30%,90.48%,89.47% and 91.30%,respectively;all P<0.05).Conclusion UE scoring method has a high diagnostic value in small breast lumps and can contribute to the diagnosis of early breast cancer.
