Twelve cases of radical surgery were carried out on patients with schistosoma granuloma mistaken for malignant lesions. Such radical procedures could have been averted if pre-operative biopsies were done. Therefore, there is a need for clinicians practising in schistosoma endemic areas to routinely carry out pre-operative biopsy to minimize missed diagnosis of schistosomiasis.

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most important tumors affecting women in Nigeria and all over the world, with high morbidity and mortality if detection is delayed or if wrong diagnosis is made. Objectives: This study was carried out to review the histology of all breast biopsies sent to Histopathology Laboratory in Babcock University Teaching Hospital, Ilishan, Nigeria. Method: All breast biopsies received from January 2013 to August 2015 were analyzed. Demographic data such as age, sex, and anatomical site of the biopsy were obtained through histology request card and biopsy registers. Result:Atotal of 55 breast samples were received during the period under review, 45 samples (81.8%) were benign lesions, 9 samples (16.4%) malignant lesions and 1 sample (1.8%) was an inflammatory lesion. The age group with the highest occurrence of breast pathology is 10-19 years, which are mostly benign lesions, with 30-39 years age group having the highest occurrence of malignant lesions. Conclusion: The study indicated that most breast lesions occurring in the first three decades of life are benign, while those in the elderly are mostly malignant. We recommend strong awareness campaign to encourage early detection and appropriate management of these lesions.
