OBJECTIVES: To know the Perineural and lymphovascular space invasion in early operable breast cancer patients since these are prognostic factors in patient's invasive carcinoma breast. Methods: In this present study, Perineural and lymphovascular space invasion was studied pathologically in postmastectomy specimens in 134 patients. RESULTS: In this study,6 (4.48%) patients had perineural invasion and 2 (1.49%) patients had only perineural invasion without lymphovascular space invasion. 19(14.18%) patients had lymphovascular space invasion and 15 (11.2%) patients had lymphovascular space invasion alone without perineural invasion. 4(3%) patients had both lympho vascular space invasion alone and perineural invasion. CONCLUSION: Lympho vascular space invasion, which impact the prognosis adversely, is present in 15% of the patients with invasive carcinoma breast.
