A member asked:
Could breast cancer be found through only an ultrasound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Occasionally something will show up on ultrasound and not be visible on mammography. The reverse can also be true, and you also cannot assume a palpable lump is benign if it does not appear on either.
