Objective: A retrospective study of 2 years duration was undertaken to determine the histopathological spectrum of breast lesions including both benign and malignant lesions.
Materials and Methods: The study was undertaken to know the histological spectrum of breast diseases of TSM medical college and hospital from 20 September 2016 to 20 September 2018. A total of 114 breast tissues sent for histopathology were studied.
Result: Out of 114 cases, benign lesions constituted 86% (98 cases) and malignant lesions constituted 14% (16 cases). The commonest benign lesion was Fibroadenoma (51% of all benign lesions) and the commonest malignant lesion was Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma (62% of all malignant lesions). Few uncommon lesions like Adenomyoepithelioma, flat duct aypia, atypical ductal hyperplasia and papillary carcinoma were detected.
