“…According to various studies conducted, breast lesions were reported to be more common in females as compared to males, with male breast lesions accounting to less than 4 % of the total breast cases in various FNAC studies of breast lumps. 1,[4][5][6] In the present study, the total number of male breast cases who underwent FNAC was 48 (6.15 %), which was almost similar to a study by Mansoor et al 2 where they had an incidence of 6%. In contrast, various studies done by other researchers 1,4-6 showed a lower incidence of less than 4% of male breast lesions.…”

“…However, it is seldom used in males, mostly because male breast lesions are much less frequent. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The approach to the diagnostic work-up of breast lesions should be an early diagnosis to relieve the patient's anxiety, save time, and to help in planning proper management. All these can be achieved with the help of FNAC.…”

“…In males, gynaecomastia is the most common benign breast lesion, 2,[4][5][6][7][8][9] with the most common malignant breast lesion being infiltrating ductal carcinoma, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] accounting for less than 3% of all breast carcinomas and less than 1% of all cancer in males. [1][2][3]6,10 The aim of our study was to determine the role of FNAC in the diagnosis of male breast lesions and also to describe the cytomorphologic features of male breast lesions which were encountered in our hospital setting over a five-and-a-halfyear period.…”

BACKGROUND Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a simple, reliable, inexpensive, easily acceptable procedure and already has a well-established role in the diagnosis of palpable female breast lesions. However, breast lumps in males are rarely aspirated and hence there is limited cytopathologic experience. The present study aims to determine the role of FNAC in the diagnosis of male breast lesions and also to describe the various cytomorphologic features of these lesions. METHODS The present study is a retrospective analysis of all male breast lesions over a period of five and half years i.e., January 2013 to June 2018 in the Department of Pathology, JNIMS, Manipur. All available data on male breast FNAC done during this period was retrieved from the records of the cytopathology laboratory. The cytologic slides and reports were reviewed and various cytomorphologic features were reassessed. FNAC diagnoses were categorized as benign, malignant, atypical, suspicious and inadequate or unsatisfactory. RESULTS There was a total of 780 patients who underwent breast FNAC during the five-anda-half-year period out of which, 48 were male patients. The most common lesion was gynaecomastia which most commonly occurred in the age group of 51-60 years. Benign breast lesions were found to be more common than malignant breast lesions. Malignant lesions occurred a decade older than benign breast lesions. CONCLUSIONS FNAC is an accurate, safe and simple tool in the diagnosis of male breast lesions. In the hands of an experienced cytopathologist, it is highly sensitive and specific. Therefore, FNAC should be used confidently and be included as a standard first-line investigative procedure in the primary assessment of breast lumps in males as well.

Background: This study was undertaken to study the spectrum and cytomorphological features of male chest wall lesions including breast. A total of 50 cases presenting in a year were studied. Methods: Aspiration was carried out in all the male patients presenting with chest wall and breast lesions. All smears were stained with MGG and their cytomorphology studied. Ziel-Nelson staining was done on necrotic aspirates to look for AFB. Result: Maximum numbers of cases (16) were seen in 21-30 yrs of age group while only 1 case was encountered in 8th decade. Most common diagnosis was lipoma (28%) followed by gynaecomastia (20%), inclusion cyst(18%), necrotizing inflammation (12%), acute/ subacute inflammation(08%), spindle cell lesion(04%), adenocarcinoma (04%) and high grade NHL (02%). The cases, for which histologic confirmation could be sought, showed 100% cytohistologic correlation. Conclusion: It was concluded that fine needle aspiration cytology of male chest wall lesion is a useful, safe and diagnostic procedure with high rate of histological correlation.
