OBJECTIVE.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the applicability of the current BI-RADS for sonography to the assessment of synchronous breast nodules other than the primary malignant tumor in patients with breast cancer.
CONCLUSION.
For assessment of synchronous nodules in breast cancer patients, application of conventional screening sonographic BI-RADS categories may not account for possible increased risk of malignancy in synchronous nodules, especially those in the same quadrant of the breast as the index malignant tumor.
