“…Tuberculosis of the breast formed a large proportion (32.2%) of inflammatory lesions. Three types were found, namely, a lump in the breast (41) situated in the central or upper outer quadrant, a tubercular ulcer of the breast (12), and tubercular breast abscess (8). All of the lesions were proven on biopsy, but there was no clinical evidence of tuberculosis and chest x-rays performed in 13 patients of the prospective group were normal.…”

Experience with benign breast disorders has been analyzed in 3 nonwestern populations: Hong Kong, India, and Northern Nigeria. Similarities to and differences from Western experience are found, but of great interest are notable differences between these populations which, as yet, lack explanation. All show "fibroadenosis" and fibroadenoma as common conditions, but the frequency with which phyllodes tumor is diagnosed varies between different centers in India as well as between different racial groups. Tuberculosis is another interesting example--wide differences in the frequency of breast infection are found although tuberculosis itself is common in all 3 countries. The value of prospective studies was shown when mastalgia was studied in this way in India. Often considered a "Western" affliction, these authors have been able to study 112 cases of mastalgia and found it to be twice as common as cancer as a presentation. These differing experiences between populations have been little explored and must hold promise for unravelling some of the enigmas of benign breast disorders in all countries.

“…7 The peak incidence in patients 21 -30 years of age for mastalgia, 20 -40 years for fibroadenoma, 31 -40 years for mastitis, duct ectasia and 40 years of age and above for carcinoma of breast, which was one decade younger than in western country patients. 8- 12 The breast lesions were equally distributed in patients in rural and urban populations. This is in contrast to a lower incidence of benign breast disorders reported in rural Africans, first generation Chinese immigrants and American Indians.…”

Background: Breast diseases are very common throughout the world with wide variety of patterns of presentation across the globe. The study was done in a tertiary care center with rural set up in a rural area of India to know the specific incidence of different breast disorders with respect to age and sex of the patient, best method for early diagnosis, fallacies in clinical diagnosis and to find out the sensitivity of FNAC in correlation with histopathological or surgical confirmation. Method: This is a prospective study conducted on patients attending outpatient department in a tertiary care center with breast symptoms. It was conducted for a period of two years. Detailed history was noted. They were assessed clinically and their diagnosis was confirmed by cytological (FNAC) or histopathological (biopsy) examination. Results: 237 cases of breast disease were diagnosed which include 222 females and 15 males. The ratio between benign 210 (88.61%) and malignant 27 (11.39 %) lesions was 7.8:1. Among all the benign breast diseases, ANDI (29.11 %) was the commonest, followed by Fibroadenoma (25.31 %) & Breast abscess (14.35 %) in decreasing order of frequency respectively whereas carcinoma of breast was common in age group above fourty years of life. Conclusion: We conclude from our study that the females

We have made a retrospective study of 197 patients who underwent 367 breast cyst aspirations and in whom the fluid obtained was sent for cytological examination between January 1974 and August 1976. Four specimens were reported as showing malignant cells in the aspirate. All of these were excised and 3 were confirmed to be malignant. A further 8 showed bizarre or atypical appearances, of which four were excised and 1 was malignant. The other 4 were subjected to repeat aspiration, at which time typical benign appearances were reported and no further action taken. No tumour developed in the follow-up period of at least 2 years. Of the patients whose initial cytology was benign, 51 were subjected to repeated aspiration of clinically recurrent cysts, 28 on 3 or more occasions. Ten patients underwent excision biopsy of histologically benign lesions. None of these 51 patients developed a malignant tumour at the site of the cyst in the 2-year follow-up period.
