COMPARISON OF CLINICAL AND MAMMOGRAPHIC FINDINGS IN BENIGN BREAST DISEASE
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 31
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although, incidence of benign breast disease is 4 - 5 times that of breast malignancy, their diagnosis and treatment has received little attention. Mammography, sonomammography and Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) together as diagnostic modalities provide a viable solution to the problem. MATERIALS AND METHODS All the patients included in this study underwent a mammogram and ultrasonography with FNAC. FNAC was used as gold standard, against which mammography was compared. An observational study design was used for the purpose of this study. A case report method was adopted. Both prospective and retrospective data spanning 2 years was used. RESULTS In this study, both clinical and mammographic diagnoses were concurrent in 33 (55%) of the patients that were examined. On application of Chi-square test, this was found to be statistically significant at p= 0.05. A concordance of diagnosis (Mammography, sonomammography and Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC)) was achieved for fibroadenoma in 14 of 15 patients (93.33%) for fibroadenosis in 8 of 19 patients (42.11%) and fibrocystic change in 11 of 26 patients (42.31%) examined. CONCLUSION Radiomammography is a sensitive investigation for the diagnosis of benign breast disease. Clinical and mammographic findings correlate well in the diagnosis of benign breast disease.
