Background: Breast density is routinely reported on mammograms, while breast nodularity seldom clinical examination, and there no standard system for its classification. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the agreement mammographic with examination (CBE). In addition, relationship age, menopausal status, number parities were assessed. Methods: This cross-sectional conducted from September 2013 February 2014, 30–70-year-old women who referred screening or diagnostic mammography Shahid Beheshti Hospital, Kashan, Iran. Nodule size, nodule consistency, assessed, Cohen's kappa coefficient calculated. Chi-square test also used assess a parities. Results: study, 320 an age mean value 46.01 ± 7.73 underwent CBE. Mammographic showed statistically significant weak size (Kappa = 0.275; P
