A 60-year-old patient with Lt. breast mass proved to be invasive ductal carcinoma “grade I” on histopathological examination. Left, B-mode ultrasound showed an ill-defined hypoechoic mass with irregular speculated margins and posterior acoustic shadowing located at 2 o’clock, which considered to be BIRADS 5 category. Right, shear-wave elastography of the mass displayed red colored hard lesion, with mean elasticity value = 149.7 kPa and stiff ratio = 7.1. (Color spectrum is at right, and maximum is set to 180 kPa. Red color represents stiff lesion, and blue color represents soft lesion on shear wave elastography)
