Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: Breast malignancy is the mainly extensively recognized tumor in females around the world. It is likewise the guideline reason for death from malignancy among ladies internationally.

The present examination was directed to evaluate breast malignancy utilizing FNAC and USG among consider population. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in the department of Radiodiagnosis in year 2017 at P. B. M. Hospital & S. P. Medical College. Bikaner. It included 80 women with breast lump. All were subjected to ultrasound, FNAC and incisional biopsy. The FNAC was performed using a 23G needle and 10 ml syringe with an average of four to six passes with constant suction. Results: Out of 80 patients, 32 had education upto high school and 48 were illiterate. 74% had lump within 2- 6 months and 26% had more than 6 months. 54% had fever, 22% had fever, 24% had discharge from nipple, 5% had redness over breast and 3% had pain in opposite breast.
