Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 73
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lump in the breast has assumed increasing importance in recent years because of the public awareness of breast cancer. Benign lesions of breast are the most common lesions and constitute a heterogeneous group of disorders including developmental abnormality, epithelial and stromal proliferation, inflammatory lesions and neoplasm. Few benign proliferative lesions have been reported to be at increased risk for development of subsequent breast cancer. The aim of the study is to study the frequency of various benign breast diseases in the female. MATERIALS AND METHODS This descriptive study of histopathologically diagnosed breast lesions was carried out in the Department of Pathology of a newlyestablished medical college from January 2016 to May 2017. The incidence of benign breast lesions was found to be 78.6% of all breast lesions. Most of the benign breast lesions were seen below age of 40 yrs. (86.14%); 38.27% (31/81) patients belonged to third decade of life (21-30 years) followed by 25.92% (21/81) in second decade (11-20 years) and 22.22% (18/81) from fourth decade (age between: 31-40 years). Fibroadenoma was the most common benign breast disease seen in 62.96% (51/81) of patients followed by fibrocystic disease in about 8.64% (7/81) patients. Bilateral gynaecomastia was the most common benign disease seen in all male patients. CONCLUSION Benign breast diseases were more common than malignancies in our study. Fibroadenoma was the commonest of all benign breast diseases. Fibroadenoma was seen more commonly in second and third decade, while fibrocystic disease was seen in little older patients.
