Abstract:
The present study provides a descriptive analysis of the mammographic appearance of breast cancer in women aged 30-39 years presenting with symptoms, based on 65 cancers confirmed with histology. We correlate the findings with clinical presentation and histological findings. We describe, categorize and illustrate the different lesions seen on mammography. Our study shows that microcalcification, with or without associated masses, is a dominant feature of breast cancer visualized on mammography in women in this age group.
