 The purpose — to estimate the efficiency of treating a diffuse mastopathy (DM) with vitamin D based on the analysis of the dynamics of gland tissue thickness by the data of ultrasound examination.

Material and methods. 92 patients with DM and 124 women without breasts pathology were examined. They underwent physical examination, ultrasound of breasts with measurement of gland tissue, digital mammography, levels of vitamin D and prolactin in blood. Measurement of the gland tissue thickness was carried out before starting therapy and 6 months after treatment.

Results. Correction of the existing deficit of vitamin D leads to a significant decrease of the gland tissue thickness and reflects normalization of the architectonics of breasts.

Conclusion. Estimation of the gland tissue thickness during the DM with vitamin D is a highly informative and available method of dynamic observation of the treatment efficiency.

Key words: mastopathy, vitamin D, ultrasound.
