Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2017, Vol 22, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in Indian women. It has lower mean age of presentation and the studies suggest that, the number of newer cases in increasing. The study aimed to look into the frequency of breast cancer with histopathological correlation, in the tertiary care hospital. Material and Methods: A retrospective study of fine needle aspiration cytology for a period of 2 years was under taken in the Department of Pathology. 315 samples from breast lumps presenting to the departments of surgery were included in the study. Results: The mean age of the evaluated patients was 36.23 (range, 10–90) years. Most of the patients with breast lesions were between age group 11-30 years (n =165). Out of the 315 breast lumps fibroadenoma (n = 124) and benign breast lesion (n = 44) were the most frequently diagnosed benign breast lesions whereas ductal carcinoma (n = 39) was the most frequently diagnosed malignant breast lesion. Other lesions include proliferative breast disease (12.6%), benign breast lesion with atypia (5.07%), fibrocystic change (3.5%), cellular fibroadenoma (2.5%), galactocele and mastitis (2.2%), fibroadenosis (1.9%), gynecomastia (1.5%), abscess (1.2%) and phyllodes tumour (0.9%). Gynecomastia was the most frequently diagnosed lesion in men. 34 histopathological samples were available for correlation. 32 cytological reports correlated well with histopathological examination. Conclusion: In India, is the number of new cases of breast cancer is increasing with a lower mean age at presentation compared to developed countries of the world. Thus vigourous implementation of effective public health programs that ensure mass awareness campaign, access to appropriate, affordable diagnostic tests and treatment is required.
