Background: Benign breast disorders constitute the majority of breast complaints presented by young females to a surgical OPD. It is 10 times more common than cancerous conditions and deserves attention due to its high prevalence, impact on woman’s life associated anxiety and possibility of some turning into cancerous conditions. It is divided into aberrations and abnormalities in development, epithelial and stromal proliferations, inflammations and neoplasms. In this study we aim at finding the prevalence, age, clinical presentation of commonest benign breast conditions and its correlation with pathological and radiological studies.Methods: The 98 cases of benign breast diseases between the age group of 15-45 years underwent triple assessment consisting of clinical examination, ultrasonography and fine needle aspiration cytology. Patients who were diagnosed with malignancy were excluded from the study.Results: Out of 98 breast lesions the commonest presentation was breast lump and found most commonly in right upper quadrant. The most common age was 20-30 years and fibroadenosis was most common benign lesion followed by fibroadenoma, mastalgia, breast abscess and nipple discharge.Conclusions: BBDS are a common problem among females in the reproductive age group. It is important to differentiate between fibroadenoma and fibroadenosis. FNAC and ultrasonography are a useful aid in diagnosis of benign breast lesions.

“…Around, nine out of 10 patients visiting with breast complaints have benign breast disorder and around 50% of the women report to have benign breast disorder at some point in their life. [2] Careful evaluation and early diagnosis may help in the successful management of the ailment and reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality. Ultrasonography, mammography, pathological examinations like core needle biopsy or fineneedle aspiration cytology (FNAC) during initial consultations may help in early diagnosis.…”

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.
