Breast specimens are one of the most frequent entries in our department of pathology. Out of these surgical specimens, fibroepithelial lesions are received almost every day. Aim: To study and provide an overview of fibroepithelial lesions of breast. Further to stratify and classify various fibroepithelial lesions into fibroadenomas and phyllodes tumor. Methodology: All the 386 cases of fibroepithelial lesions received over a period of 3 1/2 years from Jan 2015-June 2018 were retrieved and studied in detail. All the associated histological changes as also the clinical details were noted down. Results: Out of the total 386 fibroepithelial lesions, there were 372 fibroadenomas and 14 phyllodes tumors. Among all phyllodes tumors there was a single case each of borderline phyllodes tumor and malignant phyllodes tumor. Conclusion: Fibroepithelial lesions show a wide range of morphology. A strict histopathological assessment with classification leads to proper diagnosis and thus proper treatment in such cases.
Aim: To study the incidence of post-operative port site hernias in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our centre. Methodology: This study was carried out on patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with non-closure of port-site fascial sheath who attended for follow-up in our outpatient clinic up to one year from the date of surgery. Results: None of the patients in our study came up with any indication of port site hernia. Conclusion: Port-site closure of fascial sheath ≤10 mm may not be necessary in laparoscopic cholecystectomy to prevent portsite incisional hernias.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
