Abstract
Objective: To study category wise occurrence of breast lesions according to BIRADS mammography lexicon. To calculate age group wise occurrence of each category. To access usefulness of this lexicon to reduce the rate of unnecessary biopsies and histopathological examination. Materials and Methods: This is observational study of 2763 patients in age group of 20 to 80 years. Mammography findings were classified into various categories according to BIRADS mammography lexicon. Occurrence of each category and age wise distribution of each category done. Results: Majority of patients were found in 31 to 40 years age group. BIRADS category I is found to be commonest category followed by BIRADS category II. BIRADS category I and II are commonly seen in 31 to 40 years age group. Potentially malignant lesions that is BIRADS Category IV and V were found commonest in 31 to 50 years of age group. Conclusion: Commonest category of breast lesions is BIRADS category I and II. Categorising the lesion in these two categories defers the clinician from doing biopsies and histopathological examination.
