Abstract
Introduction: Cytomorphologic features of benign breast lesions which encompasses majority of palpable breast lesions have not been studied in great detail. Aim and objective: To study the cytomorphological aspects of benign breast lesions in patients with an apparent breast lump and their histopathological correlation. To find accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of benign breast lesions. Material and Methods: The present study included 200 prospective cases of benign breast lesions presenting with palpable breast lump in the outpatient department. FNAC was carried out on all of them. Cytomorphological features were studied and correlated with clinicohistopathological features. Results: The most common lesion in our study was fibroadenoma followed by fibrocystic disease.
