Background: The present study was conducted for determining the radiological findings among breast cancer patients. Materials & methods:A total of 50 histological proven cases of breast cancer were enrolled. Complete demographic and clinical details of all the patients was obtained. A Performa was made and clinical findings of all the patients was recorded in detail. Radiographic assessment of all the patients was done and radiographic findings of all the patients was evaluated and assessed in a separate Performa. All the results were recorded in Microsoft excel sheet followed by statistical analysis using SPSS software. Results:A total of 50 patients were analyzed. Mean age of the patients was 38.2 years. Irregular mass was seen in 92 percent of the patients while oval-round mass was seen in 8 percent of the patients. Margins were circumscribed and Microlobulated/angulated in 2 percent and 48 percent of the patients respectively. Indistinct and spiculated margins was seen in 30 percent and 20 percent of the patients respectively. Mammographic findings were seen in 16 percent of the patients. Among them, Microcalcification, asymmetry density and distortion were present in 20 percent, 30 percent and 6 percent of the patients respectively. Conclusion:Women with breast cancer typically discover a palpable tumor on their own, while imaging results might vary. Although US is the primary method for diagnosing breast cancer, MRI and mammography can also be used to aid in the diagnosis and assessment of the disease's severity.
