Materials and methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 1100 medical existing data related to Armin referral pathology center in Tehran, Iran were assessed in a four-year period. Data were extracted and clinical and other variables were compared between benign and malignant lesions. Results: The mean (± standard deviation) age was 41.8 (13.55) years. Among patients, 93.9% were female and 6.1% were female. In 395 cases (35.9%) the lesions were malignant and in 705 cases (64.1%) those were benign. The most common types of benign lesions were fibrocystic changes (42.4%) and adenofibroma (27.9%) and the most common malignancy was invasive ductal carcinoma (88.1%). The lesions were left-sided, right-sided, and bilateral in 50.3%, 43%, and 6.7%, respectively. The mean lesion size was 2.4 (1.33) centimeters. The age, side of lesion, and gender were related to malignancy (P=0.01). The size was not related to type of lesion (P >0.05). Conclusions: Totally, according to the obtained results in this study it may be concluded that general characteristics and related factors of benign lesions in Iranian patients are similar to other worldwide reports.
