Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common and remains the second leading cause of death in women. Triple assessment of breast mass includes clinical examination, imaging and fine needle aspiration cytology or core biopsy. Fine needle aspiration cytology and breast ultrasound is important in the characterization of breast lump to differentiate benign from malignant disease. All palpable breast masses require proper work up, early diagnosis and management. Aim: 1. To correlate radiological and cytological findings of breast mass with histopathology studies. 2. To evaluate the role of cytology and sonomammography in diagnosing breast mass lesions. Materials and methods: 50 patients with breast lumps were clinically examined, evaluated with Sonography and fine needle aspiration cytology in govt. kilpauk medical college, Chennai.. The lesions were assessed based on morphological criteria. Histopathological correlation was done, which was taken as standard. Sensitivity, specificity were derived for Sonography and cytology individually and also combined. The main purpose of fine needle aspiration cytology in combination with radiological imaging of breast lumps is to confirm cancer preoperatively . Hence, correlation of Radiologic and cytologic findings is important for diagnosing and management of breast carcinoma and to avoid unnecessary surgery in benign conditions.
