Breast scan price in Nigeria
A breast ultrasound scan costs ₦30,000 on Mezo, paid online and done at a BeaconHealth Diagnostics site. It uses sound waves to look at a lump or a painful area and helps tell a fluid-filled cyst from a solid lump. Most breast lumps are not cancer, but every new lump should be examined by a doctor, and the scan is one part of that check.

What it is for
At a breast clinic a lump is checked in three ways: an examination, a scan (an ultrasound or a mammogram) and, where needed, a biopsy, in which a needle takes a few cells for the laboratory. A scan alone cannot always say what a solid lump is, which is why a biopsy is sometimes the next step.
Common harmless causes are fibroadenomas, smooth growths of breast tissue, and cysts, which are pockets of fluid. Do not try to diagnose a lump yourself, and do not wait for it to go away: have it examined.
Mammograms are not on Mezo's laboratory list yet, so if your doctor asks for one, they arrange it.
When a doctor asks for it
- A new lump in the breast or armpit
- A lump that has changed
- Nipple discharge, especially with blood, or a nipple that has turned inwards
- Dimpled skin on the breast
- Following up a cyst or fibroadenoma
How to prepare
- No special preparation. Wear a top you can take off easily.
- You can ask for a chaperone.
Where you can do it
At BeaconHealth Diagnostics sites in 19 cities, at the same price in each. Not every site has every machine, so when you book you are offered only the sites that do this test.
Done at the site, not at home
A breast scan is booked at a BeaconHealth Diagnostics site and done there, on the site's own machine. It is not collected at home: home collection on Mezo is for blood samples only. Call the site before you go to ask how to prepare and when to come; its number is on its city page.

Breast scan (ultrasound): questions people ask
How much is a breast scan in Nigeria?
₦30,000 on Mezo, the same at every BeaconHealth Diagnostics site that does it, paid online before you go.
Is a breast scan the same as a mammogram?
No. A breast ultrasound uses sound waves and no radiation; a mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. Doctors choose between them, or use both, depending on your age and what they are looking for.
My scan says fibroadenoma. Do I need surgery?
Not always. A breast surgeon decides with you, from the scan, an examination and, where needed, a biopsy.
Can I pay at the lab?
No. You tick the test on Mezo, choose a BeaconHealth Diagnostics site that does it and pay online before you go. The price you pay is the price on this page, and the site has your order waiting when you arrive.
How do I get my result?
When the laboratory has checked and released your result, we send you a text message and you read it on Mezo, signed in to your account. If a doctor on Mezo asked for the test, they see it too. Mezo does not promise a result time on this page, because it depends on the test and the site.
