As carcinoma of breast is a quite common clinical problem encountered in clinical practice, this study is an attempt to study clinical presentation modes of management of the diseaseMethods: We conducted a prospective study of50 patients who are admitted with a diagnosis of carcinoma breast were studied through history taking, clinical examination, relevant investigations depending on the stage of the disease. After completion the results were analyzed and are compared with other studies.Results:Total 50 confirmed cases of carcinoma breast were studied. Majority of patients belonging to age group 41-50 years(42%) with lump as major complaint at the time of presentation(78%). Disease in most patients was on left side (60%) and upper outer quadrant (78%). Majority of patients belong to stage II (84%) of the disease clinically. All patients treated with MRM and IDC-NST (72%) was the most common HPE subtype.Conclusions:In this series, the presentation is decade earlier than western series with an increase in incidence among age group 41-50 years. Majority of patients belongs to upper lower socioeconomic status. Most of the patients present with lump of size 2-5 cm in breast located in upper outer quadrant.
