Background: Fibrocystic breast disease is a common benign disease of young women associated with significant anxiety as it presents not only with pain but also with palpable firm areas in breast. High resolution ultrasonography of breast may reveal nonspecific findings in a significant proportion of these patients. Sonoelastography is relatively a newer technique utilized primarily in differentiation of the benign from malignant diseases in breast. Hence, we planned a study to evaluate this new sonoelastography technique as an objective tool in fibrocystic breast disease.
