DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
7.) What features do you look for on a sonogram?

The features to be noted on a sonogram include accurate measurement of size of the mass and the nature of the mass (cystic or solid). The sonogram may be an adjunct in performing FNA or biopsy. Fibroadenomas are seen as hypoechoic, well circumscribed, and oblong. Carcinomas typically have irregular borders.
