Clinico-pathological study 200 cases of Breast lesions in a tertiary care centre of Rohtas, Bihar, India
Abstract
Background: Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in Indian women. The incidence of Breast cancer in India is increasing slowly and has bad prognosis if detected in late stages. But, its incidence can be decreased if its detection is made at earliest stages, i.e. in the preinvasive stage. This present study was undertaken to assess clinico-pathological aspect of breast lesions in a tertiary care centre of Rohtas, Bihar.
Material and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in the department of Pathology, NMCH, Jamuhar, Sasaram. The data was collected form medical records department. The study period was of two years from January, 2017 to December, 2018 after approval from institutional ethics committee.
Results: A total of 200 cases of breast lesions were analyzed. The ratio of benign to malignant lesions was 3.9:1. The overall mean age of patients with breast lesion was 34.5 years. Among 20.5% malignant cases, the age group affected most was 41-50 years. Only 6% of breast lesions were of inflammatory nature. This result is less as compared to past studies and all the lesions histologically were of chronic non-specific mastitis. The most common type of malignancy observed was invasive carcinoma of no special type (NST).
Conclusion: The pattern of breast lesions provides valuable information regarding clinic-pathological profile of patients. The clinical diagnosis of breast lesions should be correlated with histopathological features for correct and adequate management of the case.
