✦ Synopsis

A lthough significant technical improvements in the quality of sonography have been introduced in recent years, there is a dearth of information in the literature about the use of high-frequency sonography in breast imaging. Many sonographic characteristics of breast lesions are nonspecific, with frequent overlapping of features of benign and malignant lesions. 1,2 Acoustic shadowing is often encountered in the breast and generally accepted as a sign of malignancy, but in fact it can result from a spectrum of tissues ranging from normal tissue to breast carcinoma. 3 We illustrate various causes of small (<10 mm) focal areas of shadowing.
