Breast Lump Treatment in Hyderabad — Diagnosis, FNAC, Core Biopsy
A breast lump is one of the most common reasons women seek medical consultation — and one of the most anxiety-provoking. The discovery of a breast lump, whether self-detected during routine self-examination or identified on screening imaging, requires prompt, thorough evaluation to determine whether it is benign or malignant. The reassuring fact is that the majority of breast lumps are benign — particularly in women under 40. SurgiPartner connects women in Hyderabad with breast surgeons and general surgeons for comprehensive, private breast lump assessment and treatment
The Triple Assessment — Essential Approach to Any Breast Lump
The international standard for evaluating any breast lump is the triple assessment — combining three complementary investigations that together provide near-complete diagnostic accuracy:
- Clinical assessment — careful history and physical examination by an experienced breast surgeon or general surgeon. Features assessed: age of the patient; duration and change in size of the lump; consistency (soft, firm, hard); shape (regular vs irregular); mobility (freely mobile vs tethered vs fixed to skin or chest wall); skin changes (dimpling, redness, peau d’orange — orange-peel skin texture); nipple changes (discharge, inversion, eczema — Paget’s disease); axillary lymph nodes (size, consistency, mobility). Each feature contributes to the clinical impression and urgency of further investigation.
- Imaging — the type depends on age and clinical findings: women under 35 undergo ultrasound (younger, denser breast tissue is poorly assessed by mammography); women 35 and over should have both ultrasound AND mammography. Ultrasound characterises the lump as cystic (fluid-filled) vs solid, and applies the BI-RADS classification to assess malignancy risk (BI-RADS 1–2: benign; BI-RADS 4–5: suspicious — biopsy required). MRI breast is used for high-risk screening, implant assessment, and pre-operative planning for known breast cancer.
- Histology/Cytology — tissue sampling for microscopic diagnosis: FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) for simple cysts or clearly benign lesions; core needle biopsy (Tru-cut biopsy) for solid lumps requiring histological diagnosis (preferred — provides more tissue, architectural information, receptor status); vacuum-assisted biopsy for small or impalpable lesions.

FNAC vs Core Needle Biopsy — Which Is Better?
FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) uses a fine needle (21–23 gauge) to aspirate cells from the lump — providing cytological (cell-level) diagnosis. Quick, minimally invasive, performed under local anaesthetic or no anaesthetic at all for simple cysts. Limitation: does not provide tissue architecture — cannot distinguish invasive from in-situ carcinoma; cannot provide hormone receptor status (essential for treatment planning); inadequate sample rate 10–15%.
Core needle biopsy uses a larger (14–16 gauge) spring-loaded needle to remove small core samples of tissue — providing histological (tissue-level) diagnosis. Performed under local anaesthetic with ultrasound guidance; takes 3–5 minutes. Provides definitive tissue diagnosis, architectural assessment, grade, receptor status (ER, PR, HER2 — essential for chemotherapy decision-making), and Ki67 proliferation index. The preferred technique for solid breast lumps at SurgiPartner partner hospitals.
