ABSTRACT
Carcinoma breast is the common cause of death due to carcinoma among the women. The objective of the study was to assess the common side of carcinoma of breast and its correlation with pathological variant. It is a retrospective observational study wherein 1000 confirmed and operated cases of Carcinoma breast were included in the study. Cases details and cases sheets were collected from the Medical Records Department (MRD). Of the 1000 confirmed cases of Carcinoma Breast, 527 cases were reported to be occurred on left breast and 473 cases on right breast. The conclusion of the study is the carcinoma of left breast is 7 to 10% more common than carcinoma of right breast. The analysis of the pathological variant of carcinoma on both side of the breast is suggestive of the conclusion that lobular carcinoma is common on left sided breast than the right sided breast. Though the exact reason is not known, this may be due to behavioural factors like increased feeding on the right breast than left breast.
