AB  - To evaluate peripheral infiltrative growth (inf) of breast catrcinomas as a 
      prognostic factor, overall survival probabilities in 169 patients with tumor less 
      than 5 cm in diameter were analysed in relation to the degree of inf (alpha, 
      beta, gamma) using Kaplan-Meier method. There were statistically significant 
      correlations between inf alpha and beta, inf alpha and gamma. On the other hand, 
      the boundary echo (BE) observed at the peripheral margin of tumor in 
      ultrasonogram is considered to reflect inf patterns of breast carcinomas. 
      Therefore, BE was classified into three types as follows. Type I; negligible or 
      regular thin marginal hyperecho. Type II; irregular thick marginal hyperecho. 
      Type III; radiating boundary echo. These three types were matched to the patterns 
      of infiltration so as to find any correlation between ultrasonogram and a 
      corresponding histrogical specimen. Three types of ultrasonographic infiltrative 
      grades (U-INF alpha, beta, gamma) were defined as follows. U-INF alpha; Type I BE 
      is observed almost all surface of tumor. U-INF beta; Type II or III BE is 
      observed in less than 50% of tumor surface. U-INF gamma; Type II or III BE is 
      observed in over 50% of tumor surface. Total of 108 cases with tumor less than 
      3cm in diameter were received preoperative ultrasonographic studies. U-INF had 
      highly significant correlation with inf and the occurrence of lymph node 
      metastasis.
