“…The results of the index study showed that benign breast lesions constituted 68.3% (228) of the total breast lesions (334) studied. This is similar to the findings in other series in Nigeria: in which 67% [ 15 ], 68.8% [ 2 ], 71.2% [ 16 ], 72.5% [ 1 ], 73% [ 17 ] and 73.4% 18 were seen in Markudi, Enugu, Warri, Benin, Kano and Calabar respectively. On the other hand, lower figure of 59.5% [ 19 ] BBD was seen in Gombe while much higher figures of 87% [ 20 ] and 89% [ 1 ] were recorded in Ilesha and Ibadan respectively.…”

“…Abhijit et al also reported fibroadenoma as the most common breast disease forming 56.4% of the total benign breast lesions in rural India [ 25 ]. A study in Kano, Northern Nigeria however reported fibrocystic change as the most common BBD with fibroadenoma as the second [ 8 , 16 ]. Also Memon et al [ 26 ] in Pakistan and Shirley et al [ 27 ] in Jamaica both reported fibrocystic change as the most common BBD in their series while another study in Karachi, Pakistan reported fibroadenoma as the most common BBD [ 28 ].…”

“…This is similar to the 8.1% for inflammatory breast lesions found in Benin [ 8 ]. In Warri, Kano and Ife, inflammatory breast lesions accounted for 6.4%, 6% and 4.6% of the total BBD respectively [ 16 , 17 , 23 ]. However in Calabar and Port Harcourt, the authors recorded much higher frequencies of inflammatory breast lesions [ 18 , 22 ].…”

IntroductionThere has been no previous study to classify benign breast lesions in details based on histopathologically confirmed diagnosis in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. This study therefore aims to review all cases of benign breast lesions seen in all the three centres in Bayelsa State with histopathology services over a five year period for a comprehensive baseline data in our community for management, research and education.MethodsThis is a multicentre retrospective descriptive study based on histopathological diagnosed benign breast lesions from January 2009 to December 2013. Archival results and slides on benign breast lesions were retrieved and analysed using simple statistical methods.ResultsA total of 228 benign breast lesions (68.3%) were seen among 334 histopathologically diagnosed breast diseases. The male to female ratio was 19.7:1. Peak age incidence was the third decade (43%) with a mean age of 29.1years. Fibroadenoma was the most common benign breast disease (BBD) accounting for 45.6% of all the cases followed by fibrocystic change (23.1%). The mean ages of fibroadenoma and fibrocystic change were 23.1years and 31.1years respectively. Inflammatory breast lesions constituted 8.3%. We recorded only 2 cases (0.9%) of atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) with no case of atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH) within the study period. Gynaecomastia (4%) was the main male breast lesion in the study.ConclusionBenign breast diseases are the most common breast lesions in Bayelsa State. Fibroadenoma is the most common lesion followed by fibrocystic change. The incidence of atypical hyperplasia recorded was rather low in the state.

“…In this study BBDs comprised 54% of all breast lumps. This is lower than 72.4% of 2011 Benin Study [7], 71.2% of 2014 Warri Study [8], and 68.3% of 2014 Bayelsa study [9]. Our figure compared favorably with findings from Gombe, Nigeria with 59.5% [10].…”

BACKGROUNDLump 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 females. MATERIALS AND METHODSThis 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. . 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. CONCLUSIONBenign 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. BBD includes all non-malignant conditions of the breast, including benign tumours, trauma, mastalgia, mastitis and nipple discharge. Benign tumours include pathologic changes that do not increase a patient's risk for developing cancer, lesions that confer a slightly increased risk and lesions that are associated with up to 50% risk of developing breast cancer. 2 Hence, it is essential to recognise and study these lesions in detail. KEYWORDS Aims and Objectives-The aim of this study was to find the frequency of various benign breast diseases in females. The objective was to find the incidence of various benign breast lesions in different age groups. Other, Competing Interest: None.

Since all cases were taken from record of Pathology Department, ethical consideration was not necessary. Male and female patients of all age group with biopsy-proven benign diseases of the breast were included in this study. Patients with biopsyproven malignant diseases and inadequate core biopsies were excluded from present study. The demographic characteristics of patients were presented in excel sheet and analysed for the frequency of each lesion and their distribution in various age group. RESULTSDuring s...
