Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Background: Benign breast lesions are the most common breast disease in females. This study was conducted to study the clinical profile and pattern of benign breast disease and its pathological correlation. Methods: One hundred five females who attended the Surgery Outpatients Department in Government Doon Medical College, Dehradun, with various forms of benign breast diseases during the period from October 2017 to September 2018, were studied. Early diagnoses by doing a triple assessment like a clinical examination, FNAC or a core needle biopsy and imaging methods like ultrasonography or mammography, were made within 72 hrs from the first consultation. The clinical diagnoses were compared with final diagnosis. Results: Out of the 105 female patients who were studied, 46.66% patients were in the age group of 21 to 30 years. 63.80% patients presented with breast lumps and fibroadenoma, accounted for 46.66% of the cases, which was the highest number of patients. Fibrocystic changes and breast abscesses came next with 29.52% and 6.66% cases respectively. The right breast was involved in 45 (42.85%) patients, and upper outer quadrant was most commonly involved (59.04%). Conclusion: Results grossly similar to other parts of the word were obtained. Benign breast diseases are common in female patients in the second followed by third decade of their life. Breast lump is the most common presentation involving the upper outer quadrant and of all the benign breast diseases fibroadenoma is the commonest of them all. Triple assessment provided a quick diagnosis and it alleviated unnecessary anxiety from the patients about breast cancer. Breast self-examination and education to the females is required for early diagnosis and prompt treatment as majority of anxiety and worry of having breast cancer can be alleviated.
