Abstract

Background: Study of pattern of benign breast disease is a challenge due to variants in occurrence and presentation in different age groups and different geographical areas. The objective is to study the clinical profile and pattern of benign breast disease and its pathological correlation. Methods: This is a prospective study of females with breast disease presenting to surgery department over a period of one year. This survey was mainly meant for studying the age distribution, to evaluate the different types of benign diseases of the breast, their mode of clinical presentation and pathology and to evaluate the various modes of management for different types of Benign Breast Diseases. Patients with obvious malignancy and males were excluded from the study. Results: A total of 100 females were included in the study. Fibroadenoma (37%) and fibroadenosis (23%) were the commonest diseases,both presenting mostly at 21-30years of age. Left side involvement was most common.
