The current cancerophobic climates surrounding breast disease affect the sequence of imaging modalities and follow-up. Neither the physician nor the patient can be sure that the palpable lump is an actual mass or an unexceptional variant and, here is the active/decisive role of a radiologist to evaluate sonomammographic appearances as per Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System Lexicon, and then assuring the patient for its benignity or asserting the necessity of further intervention. This study reviews key sonomammographic features of common and unusual benign breast disease, infections, and systemic disorders affecting breast in the female patient.
