Amorphous calcifications are calcifications that are sufficiently small and/or hazy that a more specific morphological classification cannot be made. Historically, such calcifications were referred to as “indistinct” calcifications. The likelihood of malignancy and the management of amorphous calcifications largely depend on their distribution. The majority of amorphous calcifications are benign, most often due to fibrocystic change (60%). Sclerosing adenosis commonly occurs in perimenopausal women and is associated with a 1.5–2.1x relative risk for development of breast cancer. This chapter, appearing in the section on calcifications, reviews the key imaging and clinical features, imaging protocols and pitfalls, differential diagnosis, and management recommendations for amorphous/indistinct calcifications in a regional or diffuse distribution. Topics discussed include influence of distribution on risk of malignancy and pathological entities, including sclerosing adenosis.

Set Up

Objective: To determine the frequency of various breast diseases in female patients.Methodology: This is a prospective (historical)cohort study of female patients from 18 to 55 years of age visiting a female surgeon with breast problems. The study was conducted at Chittagong Metropoliton Hospital and CSCR Hospital in Chittagong over a period of 10 years starting from July 2007 to June 2017. All female patients visiting with breast problems were included in the study, excluding the patients of below 18 years and above 55 years. The findings were tabulated in excel sheet and analyzed for the frequency of each lesion.Results: A total of 3555 patients were included in the study. Benign breast disease (BBD) was much more common than the malignant breast disease which was 3.49% (124/3555) of all breast diseases. Fibroadenoma was the most common benign breast disease, seen in 32.26%(1147/3555) of patients followed by mastalgia, seen in 24.22%(861) patients. The next common breast disease is fibrocystic change in 18.80%(668/3555) patients.Conclusion: Breast diseases, both benign and malignant are the common problems of female. But benign breast diseases are much more common than the malignant diseases. Fibroadenoma is the commonest of all benign breast diseases in our set up. Mastalgia and fibrocystic changes are the next two common diseases.J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, June 2017, Vol.9(1); 10-12

Objective: To determine the frequency of benign breast diseases in female patients in our setup. Design: Prospective descriptive study. Place and duration of study: The study was carried on female patients presenting at surgical out door of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore during one year i.e. January 2001 to January 2002. Patients and methods: Two hundred female patients presenting with breast lumps at surgical out door of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore during one year were studied. All the patients were examined clinically with special emphasis on breast, axilla and supra clavicular fossae. Basic laboratory investigations including blood complete examination, urine complete examination and chest X -ray were done for all the patients. Breast imaging and FNAC of lumps were also done. Final diagnosis was based upon histological examination of the tissues biopsied from the lump. After collecting data, written in proforma, window SPSS software was used to analyze the results. Results: This study shows a high f requency of fibroadenoma (45%) in Pakistani females. Fibrocystic disease is second in frequency and accounts for 36% patients.8% patients had intraductal papilloma and three percent suffered from duct ectasia.5% patients had other conditions related to breast including two patients presenting with pre histological diagnosis of fibrocystic disease who turned out to be malignant after histopathology. Most of the patients had age range of 20-29 years. Conclusion: Fibroadenoma is the commonest of all benign breast diseases in Pakistani women. Fibrocystic change is the second in this regard. Benign lesions of the breast can resemble its carcinoma on clinical examination.

The Given

Background: Benign breast diseases are a neglected entity in developing countries despite the fact that they involved in the majority of breast complaints. Benign breast disorders can be defined as any non-malignant breast condition and involved wide range of clinical and pathological disorders. Breast diseases present as swellings. It is a symptom/sign for a different lesion varying from developmental abnormality, inflammatory lesions, epithelial and stromal proliferation to malignancy. Patients were studied on the basis of i.e., clinically, and histopathological ultrasound has done. Our purpose of study is to document various benign Brest diseases to study different mode of presentations of diseases and correlation of clinical and pathological diagnosisMethods: The given study was a prospective and observational study, undertaken in the department of general surgery, govt. medical college Surat, during the study period of March 2018 to September 2019.All the female and male patients with breast related disease were included in this study. Female patients with biopsy proven malignancy were excluded from the study.Results: The study comprised of 50 patients with benign breast diseases; the most common is Fibro adenoma which formed 68% then fibrocystic diseases 20%. With most common age group involved in our study is 21-30 years.Conclusions: Benign breast diseases are more common but ignored entity though it carries majority of complaints and occur mainly in young women less than 30 years of age and were mostly fibro adenoma and fibrocystic change.
