J Surg Pak Jan ;9(3):32-5.

A descriptive study was conducted in Surgery ward 03 JPMC, on forty consecutive female patients with suspected or clinically palpable breast lumps or nipple discharge. All the patients underwent mammogram for detecting lesions, later on biopsy (FNAC / Trucut / excision) of the lesions were done to confirm the findings on mammogram. The purpose of the study was to know the sensitivity and specificity of mammogram according to newly introduced BI-RADS Classification. BI-RADS-05 (malignant) category was reported in 19 out of 40 patients (47.5%) and confirmed on histopathology. In this study overall sensitivity and specificity of mammogram according to BI-RADS classification is 86.2% and 100% respectively.
