Women with benign breast diseases (BBD) are at a high risk of developing breast cancer. Objective: Purpose of the study was to analyze the spectrum of BBD in a tertiary care hospital of Lahore to understand the prevalence of inflammatory lesions, benign neoplasms and their age-wise comparison.Methodology: The study was carried out at Pathology Department, King Edward Medical University, Lahore. Data of 368 cases of BBD during a time span of 3 years (2011-2014) was obtained retrospectively.Results: There were 190 patients of fibroadenoma (FA), 81 of fibrocystic disease (FCD), 64 of breast abscess (BA), 12 of granulomatous mastitis (GM), 7 of lipoma, 5 of phylloides tumor (PL), 4 of fibrosis (F), 2 of intraductal papilloma (IDP) and 3 of accessory breast with Fibrocystic (FC) changes. The relation between theages and frequency of the different types of lesions was also analyzed to understand the association between predisposing factors and the nature of lesions.Conclusions: Out results demonstrated that the FA is the most frequent benign breast lesions and is common among young females with age ranges from 10 to 20 years. FCD is the second most common lesion, while FA and FCD are less common among women older than 40 years. Benign neoplasms are more frequentamong women of the Lahore. There were only three cases of sclerosing adenosis, 2 of microglandularadenosis, 3 of hyperplasia and no case of radial scar.

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide in females and is an important cause of mortality and morbidity. FNAC is a safe, reliable, sensitive, specific, time saving and cost effective procedure useful in the diagnosis of carcinoma breast. It helps the surgeon in planning the treatment, and thereby reducing the delay in treatment. The primary aim of this study is to find out the spectrum of breast lesions on fine needle aspiration cytology based on IAC Yokohama system in a tertiary care hospital of north central Haryana.Methods: This is a retrospective study carried out in a tertiary care hospital of north-central Haryana and included 417 patients of palpable breast lumps presented in the Department of Pathology for FNAC during January 2018 to December 2019. FNAC was done under all aseptic conditions and various cytomorphological patterns were analysed according to the IAC Yokohama system for reporting breast fine needle aspirations.Result: Of the 417 cases included in the study, 328 cases were benign, 04 were atypical probably benign, 04 were suspicious for malignancy, 64 cases were malignant and 17 cases were inadequate for opinion. Fibroadenoma was found to be the most common breast lesion. Overall benign breast lesions are much more common than malignant lesions. Conclusion: FNAC is a useful tool to diagnose malignant lesions of the breast and help the surgeon in differentiating benign and malignant lesions. Early diagnosis aid in effective management of malignant lesions of the breast and thereby reducing the mortality in these patients.
