“…While other associated symptoms were less frequently reported; nipple discharge, nipple retraction and skin changes. The frequency of main clinical presentation of breast diseases could be different among similar studies conducted in different countries but still breast lump was among the most frequent ones followed by either breast pain or breast lump and pain (Chalya et al, 2016;Abhijit et al, 2017). The significant association (p<0.001) of main clinical presentations with the final diagnosis in the present study revealed in the high proportion of those presented with mastalgia yet diagnosed to be normal (59.6%) or having MBBD (26.…”

“…A study done in india (Mallikarjuna & MARALIHALLI, 2015) found that Fibroadenoma was the commonest benign disease with highest incidence in age group 11-20 years (47.22%), while (Duray, 1984, Pike & Oberman, 1985 described fibroadenoma to be most likely to occur in adolescents and at the time of menarche. The lobules and stroma in the breast of women between adolescence and the mid-20s may respond to hormonal stimuli in an exaggerated fashion leading to the development of single and multiple palpable fibroadenomas (Abhijit, Anantharaman, Bhoopal, & Ramanujam, 2017).…”

Background and Objectives: Breast diseases in women, whether benign or malignant, are very commonly encountered. The pattern of breast diseases varies within countries. The aim of this study was to identify the patterns of breast diseases and their association with different variables in women attending breast diseases diagnosing center in Erbil city/Iraq. Material and Methods:A cross-sectional study conducted at breast diseases diagnosing center in Erbil city from 1 st of April till 1 st of December /2017. A random sample of 500 women of all age groups and with complete records was recruited. The women were classified according to their final diagnosis into 3 categories: normal, benign and malignant breast disease. The level of significance was <0.05. Results:Benign breast diseases diagnosed among (63%) women while malignant breast diseases comprised (13.2%).The most common presentation was mastalgia and mass (39.2%), mastalgia (37.6%), and mass alone (23.2%). Fibro-adenoma (26.2%) was the commonest benign condition with highest incidence (76.9%) in age group less than 20 years. Malignant breast diseases were increasing with age. Benign breast disease associated (p <0.001) with Nulliparity. Breast cancer reported (p <0.001) more among lactating women. Conclusions:Benign conditions are the most common diagnosis affecting mainly younger women. Breast cancer though diagnosed less frequently and affecting older age groups, yet its seriousness mandating a thorough assessment of women of different presentations especially that of mass alone or with mastalgia.

“…Benign breast disease is common and complex topic and requires an integrated approach involving not only surgeons but also radiologists, pathologists, and on-cologists [2]. Triple assessment by clinical examination, radiological imaging and pathological assessment by core or excision biopsy has been a standard approach in the evaluation of breast lumps [3]. While approaching a patient of benign breast disease, systematic evaluation by adhering to triple assessment will confirm the benign nature of the condition.…”

Benign breast disorders are usually hormone induced and therefore usually seen in the reproductive period of life with dramatic fall in incidence after menopause. As compared to breast cancers, benign breast lesions are 10 times more common. The aim of the study was to determine the spectrum and incidence of various benign breast diseases in female patients attending our institute and to compare the results with those of other studies. Material and methods: 80 cases of benign breast diseases which were clinically diagnosed and confirmed pathologically or radiologically were subjected for therapeutic interventions and the results were analysed. Results: In the present study of 80 cases, the age group most affected by benign breast diseases was 21-30 years. 63 patients (78.8 %) presented with lump in the breast and 23 patients’ common symptom is pain. In most of the cases of lump had duration between 7-12 months (38.8 %), pain for 1-5 days (13.8 %), discharge for 0-5 days (11.3 %). Both breasts were involved in 6 cases (7.5 %) whereas right and left breasts are equally involved in 47 cases each (46.25 %). Most of the patients were nulliparous (46.3 %) followed by multiparous (38.8 %) and uniparous (15.0 %). Fibroadenoma constituted in 53.8 % of patients (44 cases), breast abscess constituted 21.25 % (17 cases). The most commonly affected age group was 21-30 years. 63 patients (78.8 %) presented with lump in the breast and 23 patients presented with pain. HRUSG findings correlated with that of clinical diagnosis in 70 cases. 60 cases underwent core biopsy, and in 41 cases (68.33 %) there were fibroadenoma and 7 cases (11.66 %) fibro adenosis. 59 cases (73.75 %) underwent excision, and 18 cases (22.5 %) incision and drainage. Conclusion: The most common benign breast disease was fibroadenoma. Most common age group affected with benign breast disease was 21-30 years. 88.7 % of clinical diagnosis, 90.3 % of radiological diagnosis, 93.3 % of core needle biopsy diagnoses were correlating with the histopathology diagnosis

“…Fibroadenomas are the most common cause of palpable breast masses in young females with the majority occurring in the age group 20-40 years. [1][2][3] However, breast cancer arising within fibroadenomas (BcaFad) is a very rare finding, with an incidence ranging between 0.002% and 0.125%. 4 Carcinoma in situ (CIS) accounts for approximately 80% of diagnoses, far more common than invasive carcinomas (IC), which constitute 15% of the total carcinomas.…”

Breast cancer arising within fibroadenomas (BcaFad) is a very rare finding. BcaFad occurs mostly in women between the ages of 40 and 50. This report details the unique case of an 18-year-old woman with bcafad. We present an 18-year-old woman with a ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) arising within a fibroadenoma. This is the youngest reported case of BcaFad in the literature. Clinically, the mass presented characteristics of a benign breast lump. Microscopically, an atypical proliferation of luminal epithelial cells was classified as a low-grade DCIS. As a very rare presentation at an especially unusual age, this case challenges the current risk evaluation and management in young women diagnosed with fibroadenoma.
