“…Fibroadenoma had the highest incidence in our study among the non-malignant breast lesions, which is comparable with the study of Saltzstein and Pallock. 3 We observed that fibrocystic diseases of the breast were most commonly seen in the 3rd decade of life. Raja and Narayan 4 also found the same.…”

“…Therefore, it is suspicious that some of these lumps found in the active working population could be cancerous. Majority of non-encapsulated cyst adenomas microscopically suspicious of malignant were subjected to the complete operation for cancer [23]. Meanwhile, the probability that breast mass in women less than 25 years ranges from 0.0044 to 0.0014 [4].…”

Background: Breast lumps or lumpiness are a prevalent issue among women seeking guidance, with 40% to 70% reporting lumps or lumpiness. Any woman, regardless of age, who discovers a breast lump by self-examination, screening, or medical intervention begins to worry about developing breast cancer. Late stage of reporting suspected lumps is on the rise and this was impacted by the pandemic. The study examined factors that are associated breast lump and the risk on women who ever had breast lump. Method: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted on women who attended Peace and Love Hospital in Kumasi, Ghana for breast care services from January to February 2022. Closed-ended questionnaire was used to solicit information from 301 women within a period of six weeks. Chi-square and binary logistic regression model was used to determine the association and the risk respectively. Results: Breast lump was dominant in women between 41 – 50 years and in those who do not have family history of breast cancer. The findings reveal that educational level [χ2 = 11.170; p = 0.011] and the practice of breast self-examination [χ2 = 7.998; p = 0.005] were significantly associated with breast lump. Married women were 0.764 less likely to have breast lump than those who are singles. Women between 31-40 years were 2 times more likely [AOR=2.061, CI=0.876-4.846] and those between 41-50 years 1 time more likely [AOR=1.131,CI=0.451-2.837] to have breast lump than women between 18 – 30 years. Conclusion: Breast lump is predominant in women between 31 – 50 years. Factors associated with a woman having breast lump are educational background and the practice of breast self-examination. Surgeon managing a breast lump in women over 30 years old are encouraged to be extremely suspicious and cautious in order to detect and treat malignant lumps early.

Background Breast lumps or lumpiness are a prevalent issue among women seeking guidance, with 40–70% reporting lumps or lumpiness. Any woman, regardless of age, who discovers a breast lump by self-examination, screening, or medical intervention begins to worry about developing breast cancer. Late stage of reporting suspected lumps is on the rise and this was hitted by the pandemic. The study examined factors that are associated breast lump and the risk on women who ever had breast lump. Method An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted on women who visited the facility for breast screening or other medical consultation. Closed-ended questionnaire was used to solicit information from 301 women within a period of six weeks. Chi-square and binary logistic regression model was used to determine the association and the risk respectively. Results Breast lump was dominant in women between 41–50 years and in those who do not have family history of breast cancer.
