Results: Painless breast lump in premenopausal women was commonly benign (68%) followed by malignant conditions (32%). The commonest diagnosis was fibroadenoma followed by carcinoma of the breast. The common age group of fibroadenomas was between 16-35yrs and carcinoma breast was between 46-55yrs. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that though painless breast lump in premenopausal women was commonly fibroadenomas (46%) they also account for a significant number of cases of carcinoma breast (32%).
