Abstract :

BACKGROUND: In India east carcinoma is increasingly becoming a common medical problem for women. Hence early detection is important in distinguishing non neoplastic and neoplastic east lesions prior to definitive management. AIM: To analyze the cytomorphological spectrum of palpable east lump by FNAC and subsequently compare results with published studies in literature. METHODS: This is a cross sectional study conducted in the department of pathology, Shimoga institute of medical sciences, Shimoga, Karnataka from 1st October 2018 to 30th September 2019. It includes 130 patients presenting with palpable east lump and they were subjected to FNAC. RESULTS: Among 130 cases of east lump, 105 benign lesions and 25 malignant lesions were studied. Fioadenoma was the most common benign lesion and infiltrating ductal carcinoma was the malignant lesion.
