dc.description.abstractIntroduction: To establish the early definite diagnosis in the cases of breast diseases, it is evaluated the relationship between clinical diagnosis, cytological, and histopathological findings. A definite diagnosis of breast disease at the proper time will lead to the correct and successful management. Breasts are the characteristic features of the mammalian family of the animal kingdom. Breasts are present in pairs in all animals. In human beings, mammary glands are present one on each right and the left side of the chest cage in both females and males. The diseases of the breast are more common in females. The common diseases are benign and malignant neoplasm’s, infections such as mastitis and breast abscess. The usual clinical presentation is with a breast lump, breast pain, and breast enlargement. Benign breast diseases are not life-threatening, but malignancyis dangerous for life. The most common cause of death in females, all over the world is breast cancer. Therefore, early detection of the malignant condition is essential for successful treatment and better results which increases survival rate. Materials and Methods: A total of 110 female and seven male patients who attended General Surgery Outpatient Department (OPD) of Maheshwara Medical College and Hospital, Chitkul of Telangana State with various types of clinical breast complaints are included in the present study. The data were collected from the outpatient register, operation theater, cytology, and histopathology register. All the patients who received treatment at this hospital from January 2016 to December 2018 are included in this study, after obtaining the Institutional Ethical Committee Clearance. The clinical provisional diagnosis was confirmed by investigations such as local ultrasound and fine-needle aspiration cytology before the definite line of management was planned. The patients who require surgical intervention were treated accordingly, and surgery under the necessary anesthesia was done. The excised specimen was sent for histopathological examination. The correlation between clinical diagnosis and histopathological findings was compared to evaluate accuracy. Results and Discussion: A total of 110 female patients and seven male patients were studied. The age range was from 13 years to 80 years. The youngest girl of 13 years of age was presented with a lump in the left breast and oldest patient was of 80 years female presented with a mass in the right breast. The maximum number of patients presented clinically with a lump in the breast and the second symptom was a pain in the breast. The common breast diseases were benign and malignant neoplasms. In the benign conditions, most common was fibroadenoma (69 patients 62.72%) in young females. In older age >40 years, the breast cancer is common. All the seven male patients with breast enlargement clinically, diagnosed as gynecomastia and histopathologically confirmed. Conclusion: In this series about 110 female and seven male patients who attended general surgery OPD in 3 years were studied. The provisional clinical diagnosis was compared with cytological and histopathological findings, which was found to be accurate in 86.3% of cases. The common clinical presentation with breast lump was histopathologically found to be fibroadenoma. The older females after menopause or above 50 years of age usually presented with a mass in the breast clinically diagnosed as cancer breast histopathologically proved in all cases 100%en_US
