Dr. Akash Agrawal, Dr. Arohi Gupta

Background:To evaluate histopathologic diagnosis of benign breast diseases in female patients presenting with breast complaints. Materials & methods:50 women who were treated for BBDs were included in this study. Inclusion criteria for the present study was female patients with a breast lump, breast pain or a nipple discharge. After making an appropriate clinical diagnosis biopsy was carried out for the confirmation of the diagnosis. All the results were recorded in Microsoft excel sheet and were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS Software. Results:A total of 50 patients were analyzed. Mean age of the patients was 48.3 years. On histopathologic analysis, fibroadenoma was the diagnosis in 78 percent of the patients. Antibioma and epidermal cyst were the diagnosis in one patient each. Fat necrosis, duct ectasia and Tb breast abscess were the diagnosis in the 2 patients each. Granulomatous mastitis was seen in 6 percent of the patients. Conclusion:Breast lesions are a cause of concern as a few of them carry the potential risk of turning malignant. Timely excision, evaluation and confirmation of histological findings help us to differentiate benign from malignant lesions.
