Palpable breast masses require a thorough clinical breast examination, imaging, and tissue sampling for a definitive diagsnosis to rule out malignancy. Mammography screens in same or contralateral breast can also detect malignant lesions in older women.Ultrasonography is particularly valuable in detecting cystic masses, and may be used to guide biopsy techniques. Invasive procedures such as core-needle biopsy allow histologic diagnosis, hormone-receptor testing, and differentiation between in situ and invasive disease. Breast masses have a variety of etiologies, benign and malignant. Fibroadenoma is the most common benign breast mass while invasive ductal carcinoma is the most common malignancy. In this review, an attempt is made to examine the role of FNAC, triple test & Tru-cut biopsy in the detection of breast lesions.
