| Summary: | Introduction: Benign lesions of breast are numerous in
population and it has different presentations, clinical features,
age distribution etc. Its understanding plays an important role
in its management and differentiating from malignant one. But
these often get sidelined as there is no potential threat to life.
However, these benign conditions carries a lot of stress to
women as they think it can be or it is cancerous. So here we
discuss in detail about benign breast disease (BBD).
Aim of the study: To study in detail the different modes
of presentations of benign breast disease with respect to age,
modes of occurrence, presentation, signs and symptoms and
its treatment and complication. We also aim to correlate clinical
findings with fine needle aspiration cytology and
histopathology results.
Materials and Methods: Study was conducted at
Prathima Institute of Medical sciences, Karimnagar. 100 female
patients who attended the OPD and also the patients admitted
with clinical diagnosis of BBD were interviewed as per
proforma.
Results: The most common presenting complaint was
lump in the breast. 92% were diagnosed with Aberrations in
the normal develoment and involuion of the breast (ANDI)
and 8% were diagnosed with inflammatory BBD. Fibroadenoma
was seen in 40% of cases, fibrocystic disease in 34% of cases,
fibroadenoma with fibrocystic disease in 12% cases and
phylloides tumour in 6% cases. The FNAC report shows that
the commonest ANDI is fibroadenoma. 30% cases of
fibroadenoma showed post-op complications like wound
infection, seroma and hematoma.
Conclusion: The specific and elicited diagnosis of BBD
is very vital and essential in order to differentiate from
malignant condition and its treatment is extremely crucial as
patients not only gets relieved physically from the disease but
also psychologically; who are worried about disease being
cancerous |
