Ultrasonography (US), which is used for the diagnosis of breast cancer and the evaluation of its local metastasis, has proven its worth as a diagnostic method. In breast ultrasonographic examination peripherally localized metastatic lesions at the posterior of the screened breast tissue can also be detected. In this case report, two female patients whose breast ultrasonography showed lumps. Their peripheral lung metastases were screened ultrasonographically, and the patients were diagnosed in a timely manner. Ultrasonographic examination at a patient's first appointment - and especially during routine check-ups after the primary treatment - can allow an early diagnosis of peripherally localized lung metastasis at the posterior of the screened breast tissue and make a vital contribution to the patient's prognosis.
超声检查（US）已被证明是一种有价值的诊断方法，可用于乳腺癌的诊断及其局部转移的评估。在乳腺超声检查中，也可以检测到筛查乳腺组织后部的外周局部转移病变。在本病例报告中，两名女性患者的乳腺超声检查显示有肿块。对她们的外周肺转移进行了超声筛查，并及时诊断了患者。在患者首次就诊时进行超声检查——尤其是在初次治疗后的常规检查期间——可以早期诊断筛查乳腺组织后部的外周局部肺转移，并对患者的预后做出至关重要的贡献。
