SPECTRUM OF BENIGN BREAST DISEASE AND ITS MANAGEMENT

Archana Shukla, S. S. Pal

Abstract


Breast disease in females causes great deal of anxiety and fear of carcinoma and thus losing it. Not all breast diseases and lumps are carcinoma. To study this enigma of females, the patients with breast symptoms were studied for 12 months from January to December 2013 in Surgical unit of tertiary care hospital.

 

The study was conducted to determine the incidence, role of histopathology and imaging in diagnosis and management. The disease is complex group of symptoms and sign such as lump, mastalgia, nipple discharge and combination of these. This was done so as to differentiate and identify the benign group which was much larger in number. They require more counseling, assurance and education regarding benign nature and it being a developmental disorder. Such disorders if untreated may convert into disease which is more persistent. The mean age of patients was 32 years (Range 14-50 years). The commonest diagnosis was fibroadenoma followed by fibroadenosis. Tuberculosis was the most concerning disease we came across in the study.
