FNAC showed both good sensitivity and specificity. Conclusions: Fibroadenoma and Fibroadenosis are the most common benign breast diseases. Triple assessment by clinical, pathological and radiological examination is a standard approach in the evaluation of breast lumps. Surgical excision was an effective treatment for most of the benign breast diseases.
