“…The pattern of breast diseases and their etiology varies among different countries and ethnic groups (Aslam et al, 2013).In this study the pattern of breast diseases among women attending breast diagnosing center in Erbil city /Iraq had been identified, thus nearly two thirds (63%) of them were diagnosed as benign breast diseases while 13.2% found to have breast cancer, these results were nearly similar to two studies conducted in Nigeria (Mayun, Pindiga, & Babayo, 2008;Uwaezuoke & Udoye, 2014) while other studies conducted in India (Rasheed et al, 2014) and Tanzania (Chalya et al, 2016) showed slightly higher proportions of both benign breast diseases; (80.7%), (80,4%) and that of breast cancer (22.2 %), (19.6%) respectively. This could be related to the demographic characteristics of the selected sample since only (17%) of the women in this study were above 50 years.…”

Background and Objectives: Breast diseases in women, whether benign or malignant, are very commonly encountered. The pattern of breast diseases varies within countries. The aim of this study was to identify the patterns of breast diseases and their association with different variables in women attending breast diseases diagnosing center in Erbil city/Iraq. Material and Methods:A cross-sectional study conducted at breast diseases diagnosing center in Erbil city from 1 st of April till 1 st of December /2017. A random sample of 500 women of all age groups and with complete records was recruited. The women were classified according to their final diagnosis into 3 categories: normal, benign and malignant breast disease. The level of significance was <0.05. Results:Benign breast diseases diagnosed among (63%) women while malignant breast diseases comprised (13.2%).The most common presentation was mastalgia and mass (39.2%), mastalgia (37.6%), and mass alone (23.2%). Fibro-adenoma (26.2%) was the commonest benign condition with highest incidence (76.9%) in age group less than 20 years. Malignant breast diseases were increasing with age. Benign breast disease associated (p <0.001) with Nulliparity. Breast cancer reported (p <0.001) more among lactating women. Conclusions:Benign conditions are the most common diagnosis affecting mainly younger women. Breast cancer though diagnosed less frequently and affecting older age groups, yet its seriousness mandating a thorough assessment of women of different presentations especially that of mass alone or with mastalgia.

“…This finding was similar (28%) to the findings of Ahmed et al [7] from Sudan among their 200 cases. And near similar to the findings of Kumar [9] and Mayun et al [18] as their result were 22% and 23.7%. Besides Bukhari et al [8] showed 16% and Pradhan and Dhakal [17] showed only 8% of fibroadenoma cases.…”

“…On the other hand, it was not a population based study, rather sampled consecutively from the patients attending the laboratory for FNAC with complaints of breast lump. Mayun et al [18] found average age of fibroadenoma was 16 years but this study found most of the cases in the age group of 21-30 years. This demands further investigation to find out whether there is any cause of this age difference in relation to inhabitation or ethnicity.…”

“…Though Yip et al [20] and Bukhari and Akhter [21] found near results but their numbers of cases were relatively smaller, 676 and 175 respectively. Ahmed et al [7] in Sudan, Mayun et al [18] in Nigeria and Bukhari et al [8] in Pakistan reported 30.5%, 40% and 31% malignant cases which reflects less awareness of women to attend health facilities with smaller However, reports from the western world show that female breast carcinoma is predominantly seen in the fifth and sixth decade [29][30][31]. Farooq and Coleman [32] compare age incidence between the South Asian and Non-South Asian breast carcinoma patient in England and Wales and found mean age at diagnosis of the South Asian women were 51.8 years compared with 62.8 years for non-south Asians and 16% (compared with 5%) aged under 40 years at diagnosis.…”

Background: Breast carcinoma is the most common malignant tumour and the leading cause of death from cancer in women. A large number of patients in Bangladesh have been suffering from breast cancer. Now-a-days, FNAC is being performed as a pre-operative test to evaluate breast 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%. This study intended to look the frequencies of different lesions in FNAC of palpable breast lump.

“…In the present study, the frequency of benign lesions was higher than malignant lesions, as is seen in other studies. [17][18][19][20][21][22] The present study showed that majority of non-neoplastic cases were in the third decade followed by second decade.Malignant lesions were common after 5 th decade. Astudy conducted by other authors also showed similar findings.…”

Background: Breast cancer is the one of the leading causes death in women. Triple test approach has been widely accepted in asymptomatic women for the preoperative diagnosis of the breast lesions. Triple test includes clinical examination, mammography and Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) to differentiate between neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions, histopathological confirmation being the gold standard for neoplasticlesions and best management plan for the patient.The aim was to study the histopathological spectrum of breast lesions and correlate the cytological and radiological findings with histopathological examination and to determine sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of FNACand mammography in the diagnosis of the breast lesions. Methods:The study comprised of 552 casesofhistopathologically diagnosed breast lesions over the period of twelve years in a rural tertiary health care centre catering rural population. Results:Of the 552 cases examinedhistopathologically, 375 cases (67.9%) were benign lesions, 177 cases (32.1%) were malignant. Fibroadenoma was the commonest benign lesion, whereas infiltrating ductal carcinoma was the commonest malignant tumour. Incidence of phyllodes tumour was significantly higher compared to other studies. Overall sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of FNAC and mammography were 95.9%, 98%, 96.6% and 84.7%, 78.5%,81.1% respectively. Conclusion:Histopathology plays an important role in diagnostic and therapeutic management of neoplastic breast lesionswith preoperative Triple test being an important supportive investigation in rapid diagnosis withfairly good sensitivity,specificity and diagnostic accuracyin neoplastic lesions. Significantly higher incidence of phyllodes tumor needs further investigation for causative mechanism.
