Purpose. To evaluate the role of high frequency colour- Doppler ultrasound in the study of diffuse or local breast nodules in males, and compare these results with those of mammography. Materials and methods. We studied 105 men aged between 12 and 82 years (mean age 42.3 years) with a palpable breast mass with or without pain.
