“…comprising of 44 cases, the most prevalent lesion was found to be malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) which accounted for 25% of these cases. 26 MFH in our present study accounted for only 6% of soft tissue malignancies. Due to the advent of IHC and molecular studies, many cases of MFH are being classified into other subtypes.…”

“…In a previous study 56 cases of thyroid carcinoma among females were studied and observations similar to our study was made. 26 Another study reported, follicular carcinomas (22%) to be more common than medullary carcinoma (5%) however papillary carcinoma was still the most prevalent type of thyroid malignancy. 5 Soft Tissue: The histopathological spectrum of soft tissue malignancies revealed liposarcoma to be the commonest lesion followed by rhabdomyosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma (Table 5).…”

“…Bhagyalakshmi A et al in their study reported 0.5% prevalence of lung cancer which was less than what was observed in our study. 26 Sharma RG and co-workers observed the prevalence of lung carcinoma and laryngeal carcinoma to be around 3 and 1%. 5 The spectrum of lung and pleural malignancies revealed adenocarcinomas to be the commonest tumor followed by squamous cell carcinoma and malignant mesothelioma.…”

“…Basal cell carcinoma (42%) was the commonest skin cancer in these female patients followed by squamous cell carcinoma (32%) and malignant melanoma (9%). 26 Another study reported skin malignancies to encompass 2% of all malignancies studied among females,6 squamous cell carcinoma being the commonest histopathological type. 5 This is in accordance with our own study.…”

“…Majority of these malignancies were hepatocellular carcinomas (57%) followed by metastatic carcinomas (36%) and cholangiocarcinoma (7%).Other studies have also reported similar histopathological spectrum of hepatobiliary malignancies among females. 5,26 Urinary System: 25 cases of urinary system malignancies were noted out of which 14 cases (56%) involved the urinary bladder and the rest involved the kidneys. The mean age of these patients was 59 years.…”

Introduction: Aim of this study is to evaluate the histopathological spectrum of female malignancies with a motive to understand the prevalent trends of this complex disease. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective and prospective study carried over a period of three years. All female patients with histopathologically confirmed malignancies were included in the study. Result: Total of 1016 cases of malignant lesions were included of which majority were in age group of 40 to 69 years. Breast was the commonest site for primary malignancies followed by cervix. Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma ranked third while colorectal carcinomas emerged as the fourth most prevalent malignancy followed by ovarian cancer. Infiltrating duct carcinoma of the breast was the commonest histopathologic type of malignancy. Majority of the cervical and oropharyngeal cancers were squamous cell type. Colorectal adenocarcinoma was the most common malignancy in the GI tract. Among skin malignancies, squamous cell carcinoma were the most prevalent type followed by basal cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma. Adenocarcinomas were the commonest lung lesions while papillary carcinoma was the most prevalent thyroid malignancy. Transitional cell cancers were the most frequent urinary bladder lesions while renal cell carcinomas were most common kidney malignancy. Conclusion:In spite of many recently developed diagnostic modalities; histopathological examination remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of malignant lesions. Hospital based Cancer Registries should be established since they provide data which can prove to be an invaluable tool to understand and plan effective remedial measures in the battle against cancer.

Cancer is the second most common disease after cardiovascular disorders for maximum deaths in the world. The present research was undertaken to study the histopathological spectrum of neoplastic lesions in Rural Tertiary Care Hospital in Maharashtra. This retrospective study was carried out in the Department of Pathology at Shri Vasantrao Naik Government Medical College (VNGMC) Yavatmal, Maharashtra during October 2016 to November 2018. A detail history, diagnosis, primary site, morphology of neoplastic lesions and histopathological examination of all the specimens were done.Out of 3608 specimens examined, 724 cases had neoplastic lesions of which 499 cases were benign and 225 cases were malignant. The most commonly reported malignant tumors were those of oral cavity (47), breast (44), and gastrointestinal tract (22). Most commonly reported benign tumors in females were female genital tract lesions which constituted 170 cases followed by benign breast lesion (126) while in males, out of 123 cases, lipoma was diagnosed in 30 cases, followed by prostate hyperplasia (28) and other soft tissue tumor (28). In both the gender oral malignancies were commonest, while in males’ gastrointestinal tract malignancies and in females’ carcinoma of breast were the most frequent malignancies after oral malignancies. Commonest benign lesions in males were lipoma and while in female lesions of genital tract and breast were common.
