Abstract

Background: One of the most frequent surgical diseases reported to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 
India is caused by lesions from the breast. Both benign and malignant illnesses can be challenging to diagnose and 
manage. The aggressive character of breast carcinoma, which is mostly dependent on the histopathologic stages and 
kinds, can be blamed for the disease's high death rates.  
Aim: In order to understand the incidence of uncommon breast lesions in Indian women, the current study set out to 
evaluate the frequency of diverse breast lesions. 
Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis conducted over a three-year period on individuals who reported having 
breast lesions to the institution. All reporting individuals provided a sample, and 174 breast specimens in total were 
assessed. The collected data were subjected to statistical analysis in order to formulate conclusions.  
Results: Findings: Of the 194 specimens evaluated, 98.2% (n=171) came from female participants, and 1.7% (n=3) from 
male subjects. Among the research participants, borderline lesions were observed in 0.57% (n=1), 26.4% (n=46), and 
72.9% (n=127), in that sequence. Special subtypes seen in 1, 1, 1, 1, and 3 instances were medullary carcinoma, clear cell 
carcinoma, metaplastic carcinoma, Paget's disease of the nipple, and mucinous carcinoma. 
Conclusion: Based on the current data, it is important to evaluate uncommon and underappreciated breast lesions in order 
to reduce the rates of breast lesions-related death and morbidity.
