Among them 863 ( 92.7% ) were females, and 67 ( 7.2%) were males . Among females maximum number of patients were in the age group 30-39 years.Upper outer quadrant was the commonest site of location of lump in maximum number of patients in both breasts. Among the lesions of female breast , Inflammatory lesions accounted to 10.9%, Benign lesions 62.37%, Malignant lesions 19.03% . Among Males maximum number of patients were in age group of 50-59 years .On cytological evaluation of male breast 75.99% lesions were benign, 18.5% lesions were malignant, 0.31% lesions were atypical and 0.2% lesions were suspicious for malignancy. We conclude from our study that most breast lumps are benign.BreastLump is the commonest mode of presentation of breast lesions with varied aetiology amenable for FNAC.Hence FNAC is useful mandatory and reliable step in patients with breast lesions .
