“…Similar results regarding the percentage of cases positive for malignancy have been reported in various other studies. [1,2,4,5,9,11,12,13,14] 38 of 90 cases classified as malignant showed enlarged and palpable axillary lymph nodes. 09 (10%) of these cases showed metastatic deposits whereas 29 (32.2%) showed reactive changes.…”

“…Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has become a diagnostic tool to assess the nature of palpable breast lesions. [1,2] It forms an important part of the pathological assessment since it is easy, relatively painless, quick and a cost effective technique. It also helps in planning of treatment of breast lump.…”

“…Accuracy can be improved by multiple sampling from different angles and by using ultrasound guidance in very small lumps. [1,2,3] The present study was undertaken to study the Cytomorphological spectrum of breast lesions and to determine the accuracy & efficacy of FNAC in the diagnosis of various breast lesions.…”

AIM:The present study was undertaken to study the Cytomorphological spectrum of breast lesions and to determine the efficacy of FNAC in the diagnosis of various breast lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS:A total of 512 cases were included in the study. The period of study was from January 2014 to December 2014. RESULTS: The patient's age group ranged from 16 to 87 years with a mean age of 34.54 years. There were 6 male patients and 506 female patients. Among the category of lesions, the highest incidence recorded was of fibroadenoma (184=35.9%) that was followed by carcinoma (90=17.5%) and then by benign breast disease and fibrocystic disease with 79 and 48 cases respectively. Among carcinoma cases, 88 were classified as ductal carcinomas and 02 as mucinous carcinomas. Inflammatory lesions accounted for 65 cases (12.7%), which included 40 cases of abscess, 20 cases of granulomatous mastitis and 05 cases of chronic mastitis. 04 cases were categorized into Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia (ADH)/Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) and 05 cases were classified as suspicious of malignancy. 38 of 90 cases classified as malignant showed enlarged and palpable axillary lymph nodes. 09 (10%) of these cases showed metastatic deposits. CONCLUSION: FNAC is a relatively simple procedure with good patient acceptance and low morbidity. It is an accurate, safe and repeatable procedure in the diagnosis of various breast lesionsboth malignant and non-malignant.

BACKGROUNDBreast cancer is the most common cancer in Indian cities and the second most common cancer in the rural areas. More and more patients are being diagnosed with breast cancer in their thirties and forties. Early diagnosis is therefore very important for reduction of morbidity and mortality associated with breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODSCurrently the triple test (Clinical examination, radiological imaging and FNAC) is used to accurately diagnose all palpable breast lumps. This study was undertaken to assess the sensitivity and specificity of mammography and fine needle aspiration cytology. A total of 172 cases which had a combination of clinical examination, fine needle aspiration cytology, mammography and histopathological examination were analysed. RESULTSBenign tumours were common in young women, with incidence peaking at 20-29 years of age. Majority of the malignant breast lesions were seen in the age group of 50-59 years. The mean age of breast cancer was 53.89 years. Breast lump was the most common presenting complaint in both benign and malignant breast lesions. Upper outer quadrant was the most common site of breast lump in both benign and malignant breast lesions. The most common benign lesion was fibroadenoma (58.5%). The most common malignant lesion was invasive carcinoma of no special type (82.3%). The sensitivity and specificity of FNAC were 97.02% and 98.57% respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of mammography were 92.15% and 87.14% respectively. CONCLUSIONFine needle aspiration cytology is more sensitive and specific in the diagnosis of palpable breast lesions. Hence fine needle aspiration cytology alone may be sufficient for the accurate diagnosis of palpable breast lesions.
