Young's modulus of elasticity is stress/strain. Shear wave; a transverse pressure wave that travels away from the pushing force from an acoustic radiation force pulse.Tsukuba elastography score: a subjective scoring system from 1 to 5 of the amount and extent of the stiffness of a lesion.Fibroadenoma: a common benign tumor composed of glandular and fibrous tissue.Neovascularization: new vessels supplying a tumor that are derived from the tissues surrounding a cancer, stimulated by angiogenesis factors secreted by the tumor.Desmoplastic reaction: an intense fibrous response by the breast tissue due to a malignancy within it.Granuloma: a fibrous mass that forms as a reaction to chronic inflammation.Gynecomastia: enlargement of the male breast because of fatty or glandular tissue accumulation.Benign breast change: a group of poorly defined and ill-understood benign alterations in breast structure that may be cyclically painful.Phyllodes tumors: a rare breast tumor with a structure similar to a fibroadenoma but with a malignant potential.In situ carcinoma: a pre-invasive malignancy which has not infiltrated the basement membrane.
