US detected a hypoechoic lesion on outer quadrant in the right breast with irregular shape, indistinct margin, posterior no feature and hyperechoic halo. 1b. CDFI: A small amount of punctate blood flow signal is visible. 1c. Axillary ultrasound shows normal lymph nodes. 2a. US image of 43-year-old woman in stage II (MD = 2.8 cm) breast cancer with high lymph node burden. US detected a hypoechoic lesion on outer quadrant in the left breast with irregular shape, spiculated margin, posterior feature shadowing and hyperechoic halo. 2b.
