Abstract
Introduction
The diseases of the breast are much common and include problems related to pregnancy and lactation1, inflammatory conditions, non-neoplastic proliferative lesions and various neoplasms. The purpose of the current study is to review all cases of breast diseases seen in our department over a period of four years and to determine the pattern of histo-pathological diagnosis of breast diseases in our setting.
Methods
This is a retrospective study conducted in the postgraduate department of pathology, Government Medical College, Srinagar, over a period of 4 years from 1st January, 2015 to 31st December, 2018. A total of 498 cases were included in the study. All the required hospital based records and the corresponding H&E stained slides were retrieved and reviewed. Data regarding the age, laterality of the lesion and prominent histopathological morphology were analyzed.
