Abstract
Fibrous and inflammatory lesions of the breast in patients with earlyβonset, longstanding insulinβdependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) can lead to misdiagnosis because the clinical, mammographic, and sonographic findings simulate breast cancer. We report a case of diabetic fibrous mastopathy with suspicious clinical, imaging, and cytologic findings. Β© 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound 33:34β37, 2005

## Abstract Sonography was utilized to assess six patients with renal transitional cell carcinoma and was correlated with gross pathology in five cases. The neoplasms were seen as discrete, solid masses causing separation of the central renal sinus echoes. The echogenicity of the tumors and the ren
Purpose. Accurate presurgical assessment of tumor size in breast cancer is important for choosing appropriate treatment. We retrospectively compared presurgical sonographic measurements of tumor size with postsurgical measurements of size and other variables. Methods. In 174 cases, tumor size was m
