Abstract :Diagnosing breast cancer in its early stages is crucial for improving treatment outcomes and overall survival rates. Despite ongoing efforts to raise awareness about breast cancer and establish national screening programs, the fear of undergoing mastectomy remains a significant obstacle, resulting in delayed diagnosis. Various socioeconomic and cultural factors prevalent in diverse societies can impact patients’ behaviors towards seeking timely medical attention for diagnosis. Breast cancer patients often face obstacles such as inadequate emotional support, communication barriers, and limited access to counseling services. This case report highlights the imaging features of a 56-year-old patient who presented with a 15 cm ulcerated mass in her right breast and delves into the factors causing to the delayed diagnosis.
