Dr. Nalini. A. R, Dr. Priyadarshini Arun

Abstract :

Aim and Objective: To determine the distribution of various cytomorphological patters of clinically palpable east lumps by Fine Needle Aspiration technique.Materials and Methods:A retrospective study over a period of 3 years 270 east aspirates who attended the surgery outpatient department in Shri devi Institute of Medical sciences and research Hospital Tumkur from January 2015 to December 2018 were studied with clinical correlation and cytological analysis . Smears were stained with H &E stain, and correlation with imaging studies was done . .Results and Analysis: Total of 270 cases were studied, out of these 191 (70.74%) were found benign and 50 (18.51%) were malignant. 20 (7.40%) cases given un– satisfactory results. Out of 270 cases of analysis, Fioadenoma was the most common benign lesion found in 133 (49.25%) patients, followed by fiocystic disease 28(10.37%) and mastitis/Breast abscess 8(2.96%) were common east lesions on cytology. Malignant east lesions constitute 50(18.51%) cases, among which Invasive Duct cell carcinoma 47(17.40%) cases were commonest type. Conclusion: Benign east lesions are common than malignant lesions, Fioadenosis and fiocystic disease are more common in benign disease.Maximum number of lesions (34%) was seen in age group of 20 to 30 years, whereas IDC accounts for the highest number of malignant lesions.Fine–needle aspiration cytology is a rapid and effective method for the cardinal categorization of palpable east lumps into benign, malignant, atypical, suspicious, and unsatisfactory categories.
