Abstract :

Background: Breast lump is most common presentation in most of the east diseases. Fine–needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the immediate tool of the physician when first time patient is examined. It has been established as a highly accurate diagnostic technique over the past few decades. It is a rapid, reliable, and safe initial diagnostic tool used for both non–neoplastic and neoplastic east lesions. Objectives:To retrospectively analyse to all the female patients present with east lump and to obtain the prevalence of benign and malignant female east lesion and to evaluate the value of FNAC in diagnosis of east lump. Materials and Methods:This study was carried out on 210 patients who presented with palpable lumps in east in the Department of Pathology, Shyam Shah Medical College Rewa,M.P. from Jan 2017 to December 2017 and were subjected to an FNAC procedure after obtaining a detailed history and conducting a general physical and local examination. Results: Cytologically, age group evaluated were between 11–70 years old female, out of these 210 cases, maximum cases were in age group of 21–30 years i.e. 32.3%. 24 cases (11.4%) were unsatisfactory, 129 cases (61.4%) were benign and 26 cases (12.38%) were malignant. 4.28% cases were atypical and 1.42% were suspicious. The most common benign lesion in this study was fioadenoma. Conclusion:Diagnosis of east lump based on FNAC should be practiced as first line diagnostic procedure due to its cost effectiveness and atleast in the areas under economic restrictions, thus maximizing the availability of effective health care to patients with east lesion
