From Sep.1983 to Aug. 1985 pathologically proven 85 patients with palpable breast masses examined withX-ray mammography, ultrasonography, penumomammography and aspiration cytology at Korea Cancer Center Hospital wereanalyzed. The diagnostic accuracies of each methods were 77.6% of mammogram, 74.1% of ultrasonomgram, 90.5% ofpenumommaogram and 92.4% of aspiration cytology. Pneumommamograms was accomplished without difficulty orcomplication and depicted more clearly delineated mass with various pathognomonic findings; air-ductal pattern infibroadenoma(90.4%) and cystosarcoma phylloides(100%), air-halo in fibrocystic disease(14.2%), fibroadenoma(100%),cystosarcoma phylloides (100%), air-cystogram in cystic type of fibrocystic disease(100%) and vaculoar pattern orirregular air collection without retained peripheral gas in carcinoma.
