INTRODUCTION
Cancer can be defined as an abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cell in any part of the body. Breast cancer is a cancer that affects the breast. The vast majority of breast cancer occurs in women, although man can develop breast cancer too but it is prognosis is
rare. A breast tumuor is considered as benign if it is limited to a few cell layers and does not invade surrounding tissue or organs. When the tumour spread to the surrounding tissue or organs, it is considered as malignant1.
Cancer of the breast is the commonest female malignancies in Nigeria 1,2,3,4. It is the leading cause of cancer related death5 and account for almost one in every five of all cancer related death among women6. There are widely used effective screening techniques
that enhance early detection of breast cancer. These screening techniques include mammography, MRI, thermography and radionuclide
imaging4.
Mammography though with its limitations has remained the best and most reliable procedure for early breast cancer detection, this
is due to its availability and cost. Mammography is the soft tissue examination of the breast. The invention of these techniques has
actually simulated application of other procedures to breast lesion detection. These screening techniques detect the early stage of
breast cancer, that pre-invasive stage, the symptom free stage, the carcinoma-in situ and the curable stage of breast cancer. Breast
lesions are dreadful only when the detection and treatment is late3.
Radiographer and radiologist are expected to be familiar with the mammographic appearance of a variety of unusual breast lesions7. These
lesions include systemic diseased e.g. collagen vascular disease, vasculitis, hyperparathyroidism, stectocystoma multiplex, rare benign
