J Surg Pak Jan ;6(3):7-9.

Sixty patients with breast cancer were found from 305 patients of breast lumps, referred to surgical unit 1 of Liaquat Medical College Hospital, Jamshoro from January 1998 to December, 1999. More than 80% patients belonged to age group 30-60 years. Most presented with breast lump having ulceration, Peau d` Orange appearance and chest wall fixation at an advanced stage. Advance breast carcinoma is a common surgical problem in females of our community because of illiteracy, ignorance and avoidance by male attendants of the female patients for consultation by male doctors. Left breast was involved more than the right one (1.5:1). Other main complaints for which patients referred were nipple retraction, discharge, pain, fungation and ulceration of skin.
