Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of Fibroadenoma of Breast in a Tertiary Level Hospital
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Fibroadenomas are one of the main benign diseases of the breast characterized by an admixture of stromal and epithelial tissue. Although more common in young women, it is seen in women of any age including those who are postmenopausal. Early diagnosis and treatment can relieve anxiety associated with nonmalignant conditions of the breast. Materials and Methods: A study was conducted during 1-year period, and all cases with breast lesion underwent fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) or excision biopsy. A total of 315 cases were analyzed. Results: Of the 315 cases of fibroadenoma, most were married urban women of age group 12 −20 years with average 11 months of symptoms (82%). The majority of fibroadenomas (50.1%) were 2-5 cm located in upper outer quadrant (40.8%). Conclusion: Fibroadenoma is the most common benign lesions of the breast with maximum age of presentation <20 years in this study. FNAC serve as a rapid, economical, and reliable tool for the diagnosis of palpable breast lesions because of the cytopathological examination of these lesions before operation or treatment serves as an important diagnostic modality. Excision is the best treatment for women over 35 years to exclude malignancy.
