To assess the radiological characteristics of breast lesions and their correlation with histopathological findings.
Retrospective cross-sectional study involving 300 female patients with breast lesions.
Patients underwent mammographic and/or ultrasonographic examination followed by histopathological evaluation.
Data collected included demographic characteristics, imaging findings, BI-RADS categories, and histopathological diagnoses.
Malignant lesions accounted for 60.7% of cases, with invasive ductal carcinoma as the most common at 78.0%.
A highly significant association was found between BI-RADS classification and histopathological diagnosis (P < 0.001).
Combined mammography and ultrasonography had a sensitivity of 96.2% and overall diagnostic accuracy of 86.0%.
