Abstract
Breast diseases is a common problem among females. Due to the high increase in the incidence of breast cancer in India, it is mandatory to create awareness among the females. The common symptoms related to breast are pain, lump and heaviness of the breast. In this study, 100 female patient of above 13 years of age of low socio economic groups attending the Surgery Out- patient Department of Coimbatore Medical College Hospital were studied. These patients had symptoms related to breast. Informed consent of the patients was obtained. They were subjected to the Triple assessment test consisting of clinical examination, radiological imaging and histopathological examination. Based on this Triple assessment test analysis data, 74% of patients had benign lesions and 26% of patients had malignant lesions of the breast. Off the 74% of benign lesions, fibroadenoma was the commonest lesion accounting for 41%, followed by fibrocystic disease of breast-17%, phylloides tumour-6%, fibroadenosis-4%, keratocyst of breast-3%, breast abscess-2%, fat necrosis-1%. The youngest patient in this study was 17 years old, who was diagnosed as fibroadenoma. All the 26 patients who was diagnosed as malignant disease had Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of the breast of different grades. This shows the rarity of other types of malignant lesions. The eldest patient in this study group was 68 years old who was diagnosed as invasive ductal carcinoma. Complete cure of the breast lesions, be it a benign or malignant, if diagnosed early, is possible. Hence screening and early detection play a vital role in alleviating the patients symptoms regarding breast. This study helps in creating awareness of the individuals for early detection and management of breast carcinoma. This study has a favourable effect in improving the outcome of women with breast lesions.
