Abstract :

 Breast carcinoma is the most common malignant tumour and the leading cause of death from cancer in women. A large number of patients in india have been suffering from east cancer. Now–a–days, Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is being performed as a pre–operative test to evaluate east lump. FNAC is cost effective and can prevent unnecessary surgery. As FNAC became more reliable in diagnosing malignancy and thereby the use of frozen–section histology had been reduced by about 80%. But erroneous diagnosis is more common with FNAC than with histopathology. Present study aimed to see the accuracy of FNAC and in the diagnosis of palpable east lumps and to study their correlation. In this study 260 patients were included in the study and FNAC was done in all the patients. Among these 66 cases were found malignant and benign cases were 169 . Histopathology was done in total 25 cases. Fioadenoma is mostly found in below 20 years group and malignancy is mostly occurring in older age group. However, the study has shown a much higher performance of FNAC than other previous studies indicating the improved skill in cytological diagnosis to a satisfactory level.
