Histopathological Evaluation of Benign Proliferative Breast Lesions

Cytological evaluation of benign breast lesions with histopathological correlation

Objective: To evaluate diagnostic performance of fine needle aspiration cytology[FNAC] in diagnosis of benign breast lesions. Methods: Women who had FNAC diagnosis of benign breast lesion were followed up with histopathological evaluation to assess the diagnostic accuracy of FNAC. Results: Out of sixty benign cases diagnosed on FNAC, fifty eight cases were benign and one case each of mastitis a...

The role of US elastography in the evaluation of benign and malignant breast lesions in relation to histopathological examination

Risk factors for benign proliferative breast disease.

BACKGROUND As part of a nested case-control study of benign proliferative breast disease (BPBD) conducted within the cohort of women participating in the Alberta breast screening programme, an analysis of all women who had a benign breast biopsy between 1990 and 1995 was undertaken to identify the epidemiological risk factors for BPBD. METHODS The breast biopsies of all eligible women were re...

Benign and preinvasive breast lesions

res. In the following article, the most frequent benign and preinvasive lesions are depicted and their further management is explained, especially for diagnosed lesions with uncertain malignant potential. Even though current data shows a good correlation of the results of the punch biopsy and the diagnostic excision (Cipolla et al. 2006), premalignant lesions of the breast can be underestimated...

Four quadrant fine needle aspiration cytology of non-palpable benign proliferative breast lesions.

Seventy-eight symptomatic females without palpable breast lumps were subjected to bilateral four quadrant fine needle aspiration cytology. Cytological evidence of an epithelial proliferative lesion was seen in 44 of these cases. Based on the cytological evidence of proliferation, the site for open biopsy was determined. Histopathological study of the breast biopsies in these patients showed pro...
