This paper is based on the author's frequent experience in the diagnosis of breast masses in his everyday practice as an obstetriciangynecologist. It appears that gynecologists, by the very nature of their practices, are in an excellent position to head the case-finding expedition for breast lesions. Furthermore, the obstetrician-gynecologist can use acquired surgical skills to great advantage in the management of benign lesions and assist surgical associates in the management of the malignant lesions.
