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 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.
