title: [Mammographic and ultrasonographic BIRADS classification and its correlation with histopathologic findings].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Screening programs for breast cancer include self and clinical examination and Imaging studies to obtain the BIRADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System) grade has been described as an important tool. In México, breast cancer is the leading death cause from malignancy in women and thus an early detection and prompt treatment is an important public health concern
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To compare the BIRADS classification with histopathological findings and cases of malignancy.
  
  
  METHODS
  This is a retrospective, observational and descriptive study about of the correlation between histopathological reports and BIRADS classification.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Records of 1551 patients were reviewed, of which only 176 met the inclusion criteria. There was a predominance of fibrocystic condition. 44 patients had cancer, with varying degrees of detection according to each category of the classification where BIRADS 5 corresponded to 100% of the malignant cases.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Consistent with the results reported by other authors, highlighting some situations like BIRADS 4C (where there was a slight difference compared to literature) and the BIRADS 5 in which a detection of 100% of cases of cancer was achieved.
