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 east 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 fioadenoma 66.6% (60 cases) (Fig 2 ), followed by Fiocystic east 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 east 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.
