ANATOMY
• Normal breasts vary widely in their composition of fatty and
glandular tissue.
• Fine echo-bright ligaments (Coopers ligaments) run through the
breast, dividing it into lobules.
• Deep structures including the chest wall musculature and ribs
appear echo-poor but should be routinely assessed.
• Normal glandular tissue is of intermediate echogenicity and can
contain hypo echoic lymph nodes.
• Glandular tissue in lactating women demonstrates hypertrophied
glandular components.
• Presents with thick walls
• Some discrete components:
 Septa greater than 0.5mm thick
 Mural nodules
EXAMPLES
• Breast abscess
• Galactocele
• Lipid cyst
