We attempted to use hand-held, high-resolution breast sonography to localize for biopsy 11 solid, nonpalpable lesions detected by mammography. Using sonography, we identified and localized only one of four lesions presenting as poorly defined masses and only one of seven lesions presenting as clusters of tiny calcifications. This 18% rate of success is too low to justify the use of sonography for all patients undergoing needle localization. Mammography remains the procedure of choice for localizing solid, nonpalpable breast masses and clustered calcifications.
