Abstract
Various diagnostic methods have been developed to evaluate the palpable and non‐palpable breast lesions with the goal of identifying a sensitive, specific, efficient and economical approach to diagnosing the breast cancer. Physical examination, mammography, ultrasonography, fine needle aspiration cytology, core needle biopsy, open excision biopsy, thermograph are all used to a greater or lesser extent in the diagnostic work up of a palpable breast mass. In this prospective study, 30 female patients with breast tumors were selected based on inclusion and exclusion. Institutional ethical clearance was obtained. Detailed clinical history was taken and thorough physical examination was done in each patient. Complete pre‐operative work up‐investigations and medical fitness for surgery were obtained. The patient was informed about the procedure and informed consent was obtained before the patient was subjected to surgery. The age incidence ranged from 24 years‐67 years (mean age 37.93 years). The most common age group for malignant lesions was >50 years of age. All the 30 patients were females in our study. All the 30 patients complained of lump in the breast. The other symptoms were pain in the lump/breast, discharge per nipple and lump in the axilla. 13 patients complained of lump in right breast and 15 in left breast. Two patients had bilateral malignant lumps.
