SOSA RIVERA, Alejandra María; ESPINOZA, Silvia Lissette  and  ORTEGA, Liliam. BIRADS 3: CORRELATION OF LOW HISTOPATHOLOGICAL POTENTIAL FOR MALIGNANCY WITH BREAST CLUSTERED MICROCYSTS IN PATIENTS FROM TEGUCIGALPA. Rev Cient Cienc Méd [online]. 2017, vol.20, n.2, pp.40-44. ISSN 2077-3323.

Category 3 of the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS) are probably benign findings and in less than 2% of these there is the possibility of carcinoma. The establishment of this category requires the performance of complementary imaging tests that include: additional mammographic projections, ultrasound, compare current images with previous studies of the patient and in special cases, biopsy is used. This category includes the cystic conglomerates that this study focused on. Objective: To correlate ultrasound and mammographic findings, with histopathological study of lesions categorized as cystic conglomerates (in imaging). Population and Methods: Patients who attend the Specialties Hospital of the Honduran Social Security Institute, who underwent mammography and ultrasound categorized as BIRADS 3, which were confirmed by biopsy. Results: Of the patients categorized BI-RADS 3, to 55 (100%) a biopsy was performed, the histopathological report corroborated benign pathology in 55 (100%) and no malignant pathology was found. Discussion: The breast cystic conglomerates are relatively common, observed in ultrasound in 5.8% of cases, ultrasound, we can observe a circumscribed, microlobulated or oval nodule, composed of multiple small adjacent cysts separated by thin septa. It is usually found as an incidental finding on mammography, ultrasound or both.
