The present study is to document the age distribution, prevalence, various histological types and microscopic grading of carcinoma breast. This retrospective study was carried out at Department of Pathology, Yashoda Hospital, Malakpet. Macroscopic and microscopic examination provided the tumor size, stage, grade, lymph node status, lymphovascular invasion and perineural invasion. The study comprised 104 breast cancer patients . Invasive ductal carcinoma no speciic type was the most common type of breast carcinoma (90 cases) accounting 86.5% of total cases. Carcinoma with medullary features was second most common (6 cases) comprising 5.7% cases followed by mucinous, metaplastic and papillary carcinoma. Grade II tumors were most frequent grade observed in 76 cases (76%) followed by Grade III (14.0%) and Grade I (10%). As a conclusion invasive ductal carcinoma was the most common histological type breast cancer and the tumors were found at T2 and N3 stage i.e maximum at grade II. Our study provides prognostic significance of histo-pathological information in breast cancer management.
