A Histopathological Study of Neoplastic and Non-Neoplastic Breast Lesions at a Rural Tertiary Care Centre in India
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Pathology: Research and Practice - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Although clinical and radiographic examination for breast lesions have come to play an important role in the assessment of the malignant potential of a lesion involving the breast, histopathology remains the gold standard in this regard, not only for its diagnostic role but also due to its prognostic implications and as guide to further management. The present prospective observational study was conducted at a rural medical college over 2 years from September 2013 to August 2015 in which 274 cases of breast lesions were assessed and correlation was done between clinic-radiological and histological diagnoses. 67.88% of the lesons were benign neoplasms while 8.46% were malignant. Clinico-radiological features were found to have 93.84% sensitivity and 93.58% specificity for identifying benign lesions; the sensitivity for malignancies was 93.58% while the specificity was 93.84%.
