Abstract
BACKGROUND A cross sectional study for screening of carcinoma breast was done on pregnant women attending gynaecology and surgery OPD at District Hospital Samba, Jammu. All women with sign and symptoms of breast disease who attended the Gynaecology and Surgery OPD from March 2015 to March 2017 were included in the study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical examination was done by gynaecologist and surgeon. Fine needle aspiration was done by pathologist and was reported by consultant pathologist. Histopathology reports of these patients where available were also correlated. RESULTS The age of the patients ranged from 7 years to 88 years, maximum number of cases were seen in the age group of 21-30 years, followed by of 31-40 years. Clinical presentation of patients was with lump breast, diffuse swelling, nipple discharge, mastalgia, retracted nipple, axillary lymph node, skin manifestation. Fine needle aspiration diagnosis: maximum number of cases were of benign lesions (74.2%) followed by 12.4 % inflammatory cases and 10.06% cases of carcinoma. Among the benign diagnosis, Fibroadenoma (20.06%) was the most common. CONCLUSION That means fine needle aspiration can fairly distinguish inflammatory, benign and malignant lesions of breast. Therefore fine needle aspiration can be used for mass screening of population for carcinoma breast.
