Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
A retrospective study of 3-years from 31st December 2012 to 31st December 2009 was undertaken to determine the histopathological spectrum of breast lesions with detailed study of interesting and uncommon cases, the features of which are helpful in the management of the patients. The objective of the study was to estimate the frequency of breast lesions and to compare the results of study with those of other studies. Clinical features and histopathological findings were studied in 72 cases with emphasis on uncommon cases. Out of the 72 cases, benign lesions constituted 77.7% and malignant 22.2%.The commonest benign tumor was fibro adenoma and the commonest malignant tumor was infiltrating duct carcinoma (NOS). Uncommon cases in benign group were duct ectasia with adenosis, papilloma and lactating adenoma. Metastasis of infiltrating duct carcinoma of breast to the skin was an interesting case. Identification of benign lesions like duct ectasia with adenosis is important as it simulates malignancy. Lactating adenoma is a benign tumor occurring usually during or shortly after pregnancy. Ductal papillomas of the breast are benign neoplasms that often arise in a major lactiferous duct near the nipple. In the malignant group, cancer en cuirasses were described as it is a rare presentation of breast cancer. Keywords: Infiltrating ductal carcinoma, fibro adenoma, fibrocystic change.
