Abstract

Background: This study aims at mammographic classification of breast lesions amongst 132 women presenting at our tertiary hospital,Ahmedabad. BIRADS grading system recommended by American college of radiology has been used to classify the lesions. Materials and Method: Electronic medical records of 132 womenaged between 22-75 years presenting with breast lesions during the year 2019 were reveiwed retrospectively. Data reviewed included demographics, indication for mammography, distribution of breast lesions and BIRADS category. Result: Mean age of women with breast cancer in our study was 46.7years.Majorityof patients diagnosed with BIRADS grade 4 and 5 fell in the age group of 41-50 years. Breast lump followed by mastalgiawere the leading indications for performing mammograms. Left breast and upper outer quadrant was found to harbor maximum number of breast lesions. Conclusion: Mammography combined with BIRADS grading is highly sensitive, accurate and cost-effective diagnostic tool for the screening and detection of breast cancer.
