Abstract
BACKGROUND In the past few decades, breast health has been widely discussed owing to the increasing prevalence of breast cancer. This study evaluated patients presenting with breast-related complaints to study the clinical patterns, which helped in the clinical diagnosis of a benign breast disorder. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a descriptive study conducted at People's College of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Bhopal, between January 2014 and March 2015. The study population included both male and female patients of all age groups, presenting with complaints suggestive of benign breast disorder. Data was collected to note the demographic details and clinical characteristics. RESULTS A total of 65 patients were included in the study. The mean (SD) age of the patients was 42.48 years (12.25) and 60 (92.31%) participants were females. The incidence of benign breast diseases was reported to be highest (43.08%) in 21-30 yrs. age group. Breast lump (n=39, 60%) was the most common presentation. Overall, the right side of the breast was more commonly affected (n=35, 53.85%). A total of 27 (41.54%) patients had upper inner quadrant affected. Most of the breast lumps were of sizes ranging from 3 to 3.9 cm (n=20, 51.28%). Fibroadenoma was the most common benign breast disorder in the present study. CONCLUSION Benign breast diseases are a common problem in females. A lump in the breast is the commonest presentation. Breast pain and nipple discharge are the other commonly encountered symptoms.
