“…The present study was conducted on 640 samples collected from the women referring to the breast clinic of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in order to extract and investigate epidemiological data on the prevalence of breast masses. In general, the frequency of benign masses is higher compared to malignant ones (Caleffi et al, 2004;Pollitt and Gateley, 2004;Sirous and EBRAHIMI, 2008;Olu-Eddo and Ugiagbe, 2011). According to the present study 420 (65%), 181 (28.2%), and 39 (6.1%) cases presented with benign, malignant, and inflammatory lesions, respectively, which is consistent with the results of the previous studies (GHASEMZADEH et al, 2008;Kochhar et al, 2013).…”

Background: Around 200,000 breast disorders are annually diagnosed all over the world. Fibrocystic changes are the most common breast disorder and fibroadenoma is the most prevalent benign breast tumor. The present study aimed to determine the spectrum, type and prevalence of breast masses in women referred to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences between 2004 and 2012 . Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on the diagnostic reports data. Results: A total of 640 samples were studied. Most 57.3% of masses were detected in the left breast, 65%, 28.2% and 6.1% of cases presenting with benign, malignant, and inflammatory lesions, respectively. Among all the samples the most prevalent diagnosis (37.7%) was fibroadenoma and fibrocystic lesions (17%). 174 samples (96% of the malignant cases) were invasive. 6.5% of the benign, and 37% of the malignant cases occurred in post menopause women and the differences were statistically significant. Among those with malignant tumors lymph nodes were involved in 25.6% of menopausal women and 44.2% of non-menopausal ones, and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusions: Regular clinical breast examination beside mammographic follow-ups, especially during menopause, should be carried out as a priority and a national organized program should be designed for screening breast disorders.

“…In contrast, the malignant diseases are more common after menopause. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Benign processes may be completely asymptomatic or have a variety of clinical manifestations, such as palpable nodularity, thickening, mass, pain, inflammation, or nipple discharge. Many of the signs and symptoms encountered in various breast diseases are nonspecific and require further evaluation by means of imaging and sometimes followed by biopsy study for definitive diagnosis.…”

Background: Benign breast diseases are common in females among young age group. Most common presentation is painless lump in the breast. Clinical and pathological correlation is essential. Fibroadenoma is the commonest among all other benign breast diseases. The aim was to study the age distribution of benign breast diseases. To study different types of benign breast diseases, their mode of clinical presentation and to correlate with radiological examination, cytology and histopathology of breast diseases.Methods: This was a prospective study conducted in the outpatient department of General Surgery in MGM hospital, Kakatiya Medical College, Warangal over a period of 2 years. A total of 250 patients diagnosed as benign breast diseases on clinical examination were studied and clinical findings were correlated with radiological, cytological and histopathological findings.Results: Patient age ranged 11 to 59 years. Majority of cases 150 (60%) were among 21-30 years. There were 98.8% female patients. Fibroadenomas were 57.6%, fibrocystic disease cases were 13.2%, breast abscesses were 1.6%, Intraductal papilloms 2.0%, simple cysts were 4.8%, Galactoceles 1.8%, Benign phyllodes were 3.6%, proliferative breast disease without atypia were 5.2% and gynaecomastia were 1.2% cases.Conclusions: Benign breast diseases are common among young females. Most of them present as painless mobile breast lump. Breast pain and nipple discharge are the other symptoms. Fibroadenoma is the commonest in our study, followed by fibrocystic changes Clinical diagnosis was correlated with cytology and histopathology.

“…Duct ectasia is commonly seen in the 30 -50 years age groups in Western population and more than 40% have substantial duct dilatation by the age of 70 years. 2 It usually presents with nipple discharge, a palpable subareolar mass, pain, nipple inversion (Slit like) or nipple retraction. Smoking has been implicated as an etiological factor in mammary duct ectasia.…”
