Background: The present study was conducted to correlate clinical findings, Ultrasonography, mammography and FNAC in cases of lump breast. Materials & Methods: 40 patients presenting with breast lumps underwent ultrasound or mammography, fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) or core needle biopsy. Results: Sensitivity of FNAC was found 100% in both the benign and malignant cases in comparison to biopsy findings. Sensitivity of mammography was 100 % with benign cases and 90.90% in malignant cases while comparing with biopsy reports. Sensitivity of USG was 84.47 % with benign cases and 90. 90% in malignant cases while comparing with biopsy reports. Sensitivity of clinical examination in malignant cases was 100 % and 94.73% in benign cases while comparing with biopsy reports. Conclusion: Triple assessment is a very useful diagnostic tool to evaluate patients with breast lumps and to detect patients with breast cancers with an overall accuracy of 96.66%. TT is cost effective, easy to perform and time saving approach Key words: Triple assessment, USG, Breast lump.
