Abstract

Two hundred and fifty-six patients presenting with fibrocystic disease were closely followed and analysed. It was found in the younger age-group in this series. Recurrent rate was 36 percent among the operated group. In the non-operated group, only 13.33 percent recurred within 9 months to 2  years after complete regression. Neither group developed carcinoma subsequently.
