Obective To investigate the relationship between clinicopathological and ultrasonic features of small breast can-cer(maximum diameter≤2.0cm)and axillary lymph node metastasis.Methods A total of 95 cases with small breast cancer were collected retrospectively.The clinicopathological and ultrasonic features were analyzed by univariate analysis,and then the parameters with statistically significant differences in univariate analysis were analyzed by multivariate analysis.Result There were 31 cases of axillary lymph node metastasis and 64 cases without metastasis.According to the multivariate regression analy-sis,the pathological grade,estrogen receptor(ER),progesterone receptor(PR)in clinicopathological features and the vertical positionmicrocalcification,gradeⅡ-Ⅲ of blood flow in ultrasonic features were independent factors of axillary lymph node metas-tases(P<0.05).Conclusion There were some clinicopathological and ultrasonic features of small breast cancer that were cor-related with axillary lymph node metastases,which might be valuable for the prediction of axillary lymph node metastases in pa-tients small breast cancer
