1. To review the anatomy of the chest wall and axilla and to describe optimal ultrasound scanning techniques. 2. To present examples of non-mammary masses encountered during breast and axillary ultrasound with mammographic, CT, and/or MRI correlation 3. To outline imaging clues to the origin of non-mammary masses and to describe management strategies.  

1. Review the anatomy of the axilla and chest wall and review the differential diagnosis of lesions in these regions. 2. Demonstrate optimal ultrasound scanning techniques of the axilla to enable the breast imager to properly localize a lesion within the sometimes disorienting region of the axilla. 3. Present cases of ultrasound evident non-mammary masses with mammographic, CT, and/or MRI correlation 4. Describe clues and pitfalls in the diagnosis of non-mammary masses of the axilla and chest wall. 5. Review management strategies if a mass is thought to be non-mammary in origin.
