Non invasive techniques of imaging in benign breast disease are proving to be an important tool in the diagnosis and management of Benign breast disease. Mammography and Ultrasonography are two important non-invasive techniques which can substantially prove to be an important diagnostic tool in the management of benign breast disease. Some benign breast disease like fibroadenomas and phylloids tumors have to be evaluated for any component of malignancy unless otherwise proved. Even if a clinical finding are benign, an imaging technique gives reassurance to the patient and reduces psychological worry. Benign breast disease are on the rise and are a common cause of psychological distress in women, especially of younger age group.
