Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Generally patients with breast tumors complain of lump in the breast which may be painful or painless and may be associated with nipple discharge or not. Benign tumors of the breast are common among younger age group <30 years. But the chances of malignancy increases with increasing age. Most of the cases of breast cancer are found in age group >50 years. FNAC forms the initial diagnostic method in patients with breast lump. A total of 250 patients with different breast lesions attended cytology section of our Pathology department for FNAC. Out of which 197 cases came for histopathological correlation in the study period of 2 years from January 2016 to December2017. Among these majority were benign tumors (114 cases) but an alarming number of 51cases were malignant. Next in number were benign breast diseases (24 cases). There was one case each of ductal papilloma, gynaecomastia. The commonest benign breast tumors were fibroadenoma whereas the commonest malignant tumors were infiltrating ductal carcinoma. There was one case each of lobular carcinoma in situ, infiltrating lobular carcinoma, medullary carcinoma, ductal carcinoma in male breast, inflammatory carcinoma, sarcoma breast. Hereby, we have analyzed different types of breast lesions in different age groups based on cytological evaluation followed by its histopathological confirmation.
