Background: Early diagnosis of a breast cancer is very important and challenging aspect in imaging the lesion in the breast. The small lesions visible in imaging exams, in majority of cases are not palpable in clinical testing. The aim of the work is to make a comparison between the clinical features and radiological image in patients with impalpable breast cancer in clinical testing. Material/Methods: 338 operating procedures of the breast tumors removal were conducted after preliminary marking them by the localized needle. The lesion in the breast was shown in the mammography or ultrasonography exam. Results: In histopathology exam the breast cancer was confirmed in 131 women. The ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) occurred in 41 (31 %) women and the invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) in 91 (69 %) women. Microcalcifications find out to be characteristic for the DCIS. The shape of the spicular lesion is characteristic for the invasive carcinoma. DCIS in mammography exam is bigger than invasive carcinoma. Conclusions: 1. The mammography exam is the basic method for the detection of the breast cancer and the best method for the detection of DCIS, which is often visible in the form of microcalcifications. 2. The average size of the DCIS in mammography exam is twice as large than in ultrasonography and three times larger than in histopathology exam. 3. Size of the lesion in microscopic and macroscopic exam is equal with size of the lesion in ultrasound exam and the diameter of the solid center in the mammography and because of that reason, presence of the processes around the malignant tumor, which is visible in mammography exam should not have influenced the qualification for the surgical treatment.
