Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to report our approach and outcomes of patients applied to our breast disease
policlinic with mastalgia.
Methods: The records of 877 patients presented with mastalgia to breast disease policlinic between April 2014 and
January 2016 were examined retrospectively. Age, sex, body mass index (BMI), mammography breast imaging-reporting
and data system score (BIRADS), ultrasonography evaluation, biopsy status, pathology results and operation procedures
were investigated. Correlation between BIRADS score, age and BMI were analyzed.
Results: All of the patients were female and median age was 49,0 years. Ultrasound showed breast mass in 283 (32.3%)
patients and 165 (18.8%) of these underwent fine needle aspiration or true cut biopsy. Only 14 (8.5%) patients were
diagnosed as malignant. Eight of the malignant cases had breast conserving surgery. Ages of the patients showed significant
positive correlation with BIRADS classification values of the patients (r = 0.069, p = 0.04). However, BMI values
did not correlate with BIRADS classification values of the patients.
Conclusion: Mastalgia is a common symptom in women. In high risk patients for breast carcinoma, it should be investigated
seriously. Both mammography and ultrasonography can be used at the same time for diagnoses. Especially in
patients having dense breasts including young’s, mammography alone cannot be satisfying for the evaluation. J Clin
Exp Invest 2016; 7 (1): 23-28
