Abstract: The aim of our study was to evaluate difficulties related to mammographic diagnosis of breast diseases atYalgado ouedraogo Teaching hospital of ouagadougou (Chu-Yo). This was a descriptive cross-sectionalstudy conducted from january 1st, 2007 to june 30th, 2010, enrolling 213 folders of patients who had consultedfor a breast condition. we identified 213 patients whose medical folders were found, 95.4% were femaleand 4.6% male with a sex ratio of 0.05. Mean age of patients was 41.5 years and the age group 43-52 yearswas the most represented. Mammography could only be performed by 44 patients (20.66%) mainly due toexpensive cost of the exam for the majority poor populations as well as limited availability of this imagingmodality and its low request. Mammogram reports were available for 27 patients (61.3%). anomalieswere detected in 73.1% of these patients, much more in women (95%) than in men (5%). Benign lesionswere confined in 13 to 22 age group (68%) and those suspected for malignancy to older patients aged between43 and 52 (91%). Main mammographic findings were opacities (46.1%) and microcalcifications associatedwith opacities (11.5%). There was a predominance of BiRadS 2 lesions (22.2%). Mammographyis the first-line imaging modality in breast diseases screening but it is relatively under-used in our context.
