Introduction: breast cysts are diagnosed by ecography frecuently. Breast complex cysts have an important possibility of been malignant and they are classified as IV or V lesions in the BIRADS score. Thus, it is necessary its histological analisis. Objective: to prove relationship between ultrasonography characteristics and histopathological diagnosis of breast complex cyst lesions. Material and Methods: a descriptive-longitudinal study was carried out. Ecographical characteristics and histopathological diagnosis of 243 breast complex cyst masses were studied. Data were processed at statistic package SPSS 11.5 version for Windows and were expressed in percentages for descriptive statistics and Chi square test for inferential statistics. Results: the 56,0% of breast complex cysts were benign, meanwhile, 44,0% were malignant. Complex cysts with major percentages of benignancy were type I with regular edges (85,8%), circumscribe edges(91,7%), and paralell orientation(81,1%). Malignity prevailed in complex cysts Type IV with irregular edges (77,8%), antiparalell orientation (88,0%), and Type I with non circumscribe edges (90,0%). The 63,8% of Type IV complex lesions were malignant. Conclussions: major percentage of breast neoplasm were found in type IV complex cysts. There was statistic difference as benignancy and malignity, prevailing benignancy, in complex lesions with regular edges and circumscribe edges, and prevailing malignity, in complex cysts with irregular edges, non circumscribe edges and antiparallel orientation.
