Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
A major clinical problem of women in reproductive age groups is benign breast lesion. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) plays an important role in diagnosing these breast lesions. In the present study cytomorphological features of benign breast masses were studied by FNAC. The study was carried out on 153 patients who presented with breast masses. Of the 153 cases, 151 were females and 2 male patients. Age group ranged from 10 – 50 years. The various benign lesions included in the study are fibroadenoma, fibrocystic disease, inflammatory lesion, cystic lesion, galactocele and gynaecomastia. 1 case was diagnosed as lipoma. 4 cases had normal breast tissue. The two male patients with breast lesion were diagnosed with gynaecomastia. The most common benign breast lesion in our study was fibroadenoma. FNAC plays a significant role in rapid diagnosis of breast lumps.
