Results: Total 110 patients with breast cancer were recruited. Mean age of the patients was 43.56 ± 8.9 years. Recurrence of breast cancer was found in 25 (23%) cases. Total 11 (10%) patients belonged to age group <30 years followed by 13 (11.82%) patients to age group 30-40 years, 41 (37.27%) to age group 41-50 years and 45 (40.91%) patients to age group 51-60 years. Recurrence of breast cancer was noted in 2 (18.18%) patients, 3 (23.08%) patients, 10 (24.39%) patients and 10 (22.22%) patients respectively. Statistically insignificant association of recurrence with age group was noted with p value 0.9776.

A cross sectional studywas conducted over a period of 15 months from 1st Jan 2020 to 31st March 2021 at Malla Reddy Hospital,a tertiary care hospital. To study the incidence of fibroids according to FIGO categorization and their clinical presentation. 38 confirmed cases of fibroid uterus in the age group 20 – 60 attending gynecology OPD were interviewed and subjected to regular gynecological examination, PAP smear, dilatation and curettage procedures. Based on the studies, 60% of these patients were subjected to total abdominal hysterectomy as a part of treatment and the intra operative findings of the specimens were noted. The leiomyomas were classified according to the histopathological and ultrasonographic findings based on FIGO categorization. Highest incidence was seen 41 to 45 years age (52.6%). Incidence of Leiomyoma types according to FIGO subclassification system were found to be Type0=5%, Type1=5%, Type2=5%, Type3=13%, Type4=30%, Type5=13%, Type6=18.6%, Type7=3.3% and Type8=5%. Multiple fibroids were more common than single fibroids. Posterior location fibroids were more common than anterior. Most common symptom was menorrhagia (73.6%) followed by spasmodic dysmenorrhea (47.3%) and metrorrhagia (26.3%), infertility and symptoms of anemia. Most common sign was pallor (58%) followed by mass per abdomen (18.4%). Incidence of associated pathology of adenomyosis (18%) ovarian cysts (8%), endometrial polyps (8%), myxoid degeneration (2.6%).
