✦ Synopsis

The value of axillary sonography in 144 consecutive patients was prospectively studied. Abnormal lymph nodes were demonstrated in 72 axillae, only half (36 of 72) of which were clinically detected. In comparison with intraoperative findings in 47 patients with breast carcinoma, the sensitivity of sonography in detecting malignant nodes was 92%, the specificity 95%, and the positive and negative predictive value 96% and 91%, respectively. In 42 patients a sonographically guided node puncture was performed. Evidence of malignancy was found in 38 (90.5%). In 14 (33%) of them, cyto-histology pointed to a clinically undetected primary malignancy.
