  ABSTRACT: Objective: To correlate the epidemiological and histological data of breast le-sions ACR 3, ACR 4 and ACR 5 biopsied on ultrasound in the city of Ouaga-dougou. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective study of data for 02 years (2015-2017) in the city of Ouagadougou. With the approval of the Ethics Committee for Health Research, the study focused on the histological results and radiological reports of biopsied lesions. Results: A total of 150 patients files had been collected. Breast lesions classified as ACR 4 were 50%, ACR 3 40% and ACR 5 10%. The risk factors were related to the ACR class. Ultra-sound was performed in all patients. The masses were the most common ele-mentary lesions found in breast imaging. On histology 98 lesions were benign, 16 intermediate lesions and 36 malignant lesions. Fibroids were the most common benign lesions of the ACR 3 and ACR 4 classes. Invasive ductal car-cinoma was the most common histologic type among malignant lesions in all ACR classes. Conclusion: Cancerous lesions are discovered late in our context. The ACR classification must always take into account discriminative ele-ments.
