Abstract :

INTRODUCTION

Mammography is a primary east imaging technology for earlier detection of east diseases.The detection of a lump in the east is a common occurrence in all women. Investigation of women with a east lump or suspicious change in east texture starts with a clinical history, physical examination and mammography. Mammography detects 85% of east cancers.In this study, we will be dealing with mammography in those women with east complaints and/or palpable abnormality.

MATERIALS & METHODS

In this study of 50 cases, women having symptoms and signs of east disease, including pain, nipple retraction and/or discharge, lump were studied in the period between  January 2017– January  2018.

RESULTS

Clinical examination gave the impression of benign disease in 72% cases and malignancy in 28% cases. The clinical findings and histopathological diagnosis correlated correctly in 91 % of cases.Mammographic examination showed benign lumps in 63% cases, malignant suspicious in 5% cases and malignant in 32% cases. The mammographic findings and histopathological diagnosis was correlated correctly in 97% cases.

 

CONCLUSION

Mammography is helpful for the follow up of benign east lesions. Mammography is also helpful in the follow up of surgical or adiotherapic treatment of the same and contralateral east. Mammography forms a baseline provision in asymptomatic women for further comparison and should be a part of the diagnostic work up for metastatic carcinoma of unknown origin.
