| ABSTRACT |  | ||||||
: Breasts undergo continuous physiological changes throughout the different phases of the female life cycle-menstrual cycle, pregnancy, lactation, and postmenopause- making them prone to a variety of masses ranging from Aberrations of Normal Development (ANDI) to inflammatory breast carcinoma. This pictorial review aims to present the imaging features of the most frequently encountered breast lesions: fibroadenoma, ANDI, intramammary lymph node, infectious tubercular mastitis, phyllodes tumour, post-breast conservation surgery changes, and breast carcinoma. Sonomammography remains the cornerstone for the diagnosis of the majority of lesions. Mammographic and ultrasound reporting is facilitated by the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS) provided by the American College of Radiology (ACR). Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays a vital role in differentiating scar from tumour recurrence, assessing treatment response, and serving as a problem-solving modality. | |||||||
