Results of the examination and treatment of 203 patients with localized fibroadenomatosis of the mammary gland are described. The authors give an estimation of diagnostic algorithms used when detecting the physical signs of the disease. It was shown that the examination of patients with the palpation signs of nodular mastopathy should necessarily include mammography which can eliminate unwarranted risk of hypodiagnosing carcinoma of the mammary gland and determine the group of patients in whom the emergency operation is not necessary.
