Background: Breast undergoes physiological and pathological changes during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, lactation and menopause. Common Breast diseases are fibroadenoma and carcinoma with rarer entities such as tubercular mastitis and phyllodes tumour. Aim:1) To study breast diseases in female presenting with lump2) To correlate with pathological findings. Materials And Methods: This retrospective study for period of 1 year January to December 2024 conducted in department of general surgery, tertiary care center–Vikarabad. 114 female patients presented with lump in breast included. Besides history, clinical examination the diagnostic evaluation included FNAC, USG, mammography and biopsy. All patients were managed surgically. Results: Out of 114 breast lump cases ,110 cases were non- malignant and 4 cases malignant. The benign conditions were fibroadenoma105 cases with common age of 20-30 years followed by fibrocystic disease 3 cases of age 20-25 years. Tubercular mastitis 2 cases of age 35 – 40 years. The rest were infiltrating ductal carcinoma 2 cases age 35 - 40 years and phyllodes tumour 2 cases age 45 - 65 years. Conclusion: The pattern of breast diseases provides information concerning clinicopathological profile of breast lump disease. The clinical diagnosis of breast lump must be correlated with histopathological diagnosis for adequate treatment of patient which will help to cure patients at earlier stage.

Background: Hydrocele is one of the common diseases occurring worldwide. Surgery is mainstay for treatment. Aspiration of hydrocele fluid followed by injection of sclerosant is an alternative treatment modality. This study is an attempt to evaluate efficacy of various modalities in management of hydrocele in view of indicating the better& preferable modality. Aim: 1) To study clinical profile of hydrocele 2) To study various modalities of management 3) To study post-operative complications with different modalities Materials And Methods: It is Prospective Observational study from March 1st 2021 to August 31st 2022 conducted in the department of general surgery, tertiary care centre – Kalaburagi Karnataka .90 patients of hydrocele with age above 18 years were studied. Out of 90, 80 had unilateral and 10 had bilateral hydrocele. They were investigated, divided into 2 groups i.e., Small sized Hydrocele treated with Lords plication & Sclerotherapy. Large sized Hydrocele with Jaboulays procedure & Subtotal excision of sac. Results: It was noted hydrocele was common in age group of 21–40 years, more unilateral & with predilection to right side. Most common postoperative complication was pain in small hydroceles & hematoma in large hydroceles. Lords plication & sclerotherapy had similar results on evaluation except Sclerotherapy had high recurrence rate in small hydroceles. In large hydroceles Jaboulays procedure was found to have less postoperative complication & reduced hospital stay compared to subtotal excision. Conclusion: Lord’s plication is preferable surgery for hydrocele of small size than other procedures. Sclerotherapy is good alternative for patients unwilling or not fit for surgery. Jaboulay’s procedure is preferred over subtotal excision of sac for large Hydrocele with lesser complications, duration of stay& cost effective.
