INCIDENCE, CYTOLOGICAL AND HISTOPATHOLOGICAL STUDY OF BREAST LESIONS IN A PERIPHERAL TERTIARY CARE CENTER

Dr. S. Visalakshi, Dr. B. Shanthi

Abstract


Background:

Breast lesions are one of the most commonly encountered lesions in women.

Diagnosis by  fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and histopathological correlation of same cases was done in a tertiary care hospital..

Methods:

We conducted a retro and prospective study from June 2018 to June  2019. A total 108 cases included presenting with palpable breast lump in which 90 cases were also subjected to surgical biopsy or mastectomy.

Results: 

Following observations and inferences were arrived .Cytologically, most common diagnosis was fibroadenoma 66.6% (60 cases) (Fig 2 ), followed by Fibrocystic breast disease 16.6% (15cases) carcinoma 7.7% (7 cases) (Fig 5) phylloides 3.3%(3 cases),mastitis 2.2%( 2 cases),gynaecomastia2.2%( 2 cases) and galactocele 1.1%(1 case).In the present study 90 cases were studied histologically and correlated with fnac studies.

Conclusions: 

we concluded that breast lesions are easily accessible to FNAC, which is an easy, cost effective and less time-consuming procedure. FNAC is used to diagnose both benign and malignant lesions.
