 IMAGING FINDINGS:
Sonographic image of the nipple and subareolar region shows no abnormality. Notice the large amount of ultrasound gel used to adequately image the subareolar region. WHY IT MATTERS:

Sonographic image of the right breast with and without the use of harmonics demonstrate an oval isoechoic mass with irregular margins. The mass is much easier to see with harmonics on. WHY IT MATTERS:

Breast ultrasound demonstrates anechoic, tubular branching ducts in the subareolar region. There is echogenic debris present within the ducts. Mammography demonstrates dilated ducts and mixed density masses in the subareolar region. WHY IT MATTERS:
