A Study on Diversity of Malignant Breast Lesions in Urban Population of Bengal – Two Year Experience in A Tertiary Care Centre
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Background: Breast cancer is the leading cancer affecting females of urban India. In recent times the multidisciplinary approach to this cancer has given us new insights about its biology. New modalities of treatment and early diagnosis due to increased awareness have significantly reduced cancer related deaths. This study aims at portraying the morphological diversity of breast cancer and comparing with recent WHO (2012) classification. The multitude of histopathological variations of breast cancer intrigues us histopathologists not only from academic point of view but also helps us to guide clinicians regarding treatment and prognoses. Material and Method: A cross sectional observational study conducted in the Department of Pathology from May 2015 to April 2017. Result: Total 168 cases of breast carcinoma were diagnosed during this time period out of which maximum cases were clustered in the 5th decade of life. Most cases were stage T2 and showed lymphovascular invasion. The special histopathological subtypes encountered were Pleomorphic IDC, Lobular Carcinoma, Cribriform Carcinoma, Medullary Carcinoma, Mucinous Carcinoma, Invasive Papillary Carcinoma, Micropapillary Carcinoma, Apocrine Carcinoma, Secretory Carcinoma, Stromal Sarcoma, Malignant Phyllodes and Primary Lymphoma of breast.
