Abstract Objective: To assess the value of ultrasound, and mammography in diagnosing sclerosing adenosis of the breast. Methods: The record of 25 cases who had ultrasonogram and mammogram in our institute from August 2007 to November 2012 were reviewed retrospectively. Altogether 29 breasts were proved to be sclerosing adenosis by histopathology. The ultrasonographic and mammographic findings were analyzed. Results: The sonographic findings were: mass in 27, normal in one. The most common sonographic findings of the masses were ≤2 cm, irregular in shape, without blood flow, no posterior shadow. Misdiagnosed in 10 cases which were irregular in shape, angled edge, associated with posterior acoustic shadow. The mammographic findings were: mass in 10, the most common mammographic findings of the masses were oval or lobulated, homogeneous in density, well-circumscribed or partially obscured edge, microcalcifications in one(clustered, small round microcalcifications). Normal mammograms in five. Conclusion: Combination of ultrasound and mammography, the diagnostic accuracy of sclerosing adenosis can be improved.
