Abstract
Background: Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in Indian women. The incidence of Breast cancer is slowly increasing in India and has poor prognosis if detected in late stages. But, its incidence can be decreased if its detection is made at earliest stages.
Objective: To assess the clinico-pathological aspect of breast carcinoma in a rural Tertiary care hospital.
Methods: A total of 28 cases diagnosed as malignancy of breast in Department of Pathology, Rajah Muthiah medical college were taken for the study.
Results: Out of 27 female cases, the most common age group at which breast carcinoma was diagnosed was around 50-59 years. Most of the cases were post menopausal age group. One case was male, whose age was 66 years. The most common histological type was found to be Infiltrating Ductal carcinoma-Not Otherwise specified.
Keywords: Breast Carcinoma, Age incidence, Menopausal status, Histological type.
