“…Only a small proportion of patients (6 %) in this series required surgery, which contrasts with some previous reports where 50 -90 % of children had surgery [1,3,9,12]. This is due to our practice of triple assessment (clinical examination, US and FNAC and/or CB) of discrete breast lesions [11].…”

“…Sandison and Walker wrote in 1968 that "…the general public had been made more aware of the importance of early diagnosis in diseases of the breast from articles in women magazines and the daily press and from other mass media of communication. This general awareness probably extends to real or imagined abnormalities of the adolescent breast" [9]. If anything, this problem appears to have worsened in the last 37 years.…”

“…All 5 patients aged less than 12 years had a unilaterally normal developing breast bud that was perceived as a mass both by the parents and the GP. Such referrals are not unusual [9]. Asymmetric breast development, where one breast develops months before the opposite side, is not uncommon [12] and reassurance to parents and a follow-up visit to ensure that the other side has begun to catch up is all that is needed.…”

BACKGROUND Despite the fact that in majority of cases the initial symptom of benign breast disease is a lump, which can be easily detected by the patient herself by self-examination they generally present at a very late stage and this poses a great difficulty in their management. Early and appropriate diagnosis of breast disease is of utmost importance. AIM The aim of the study was to find out the relative frequency and commonest site of occurrence of benign breast disorder and their relationship with age, parity, menstrual cycle, and socioeconomic status and also to find out the accuracy of investigative procedures in their diagnosis. DESIGN This is a cross sectional, interventional. Hospital based study. MATERIALS AND METHOD This study was done in 58 female patients in the age group 10 yrs. to 55 yrs. presenting with clinically benign breast lumps randomly chosen from outpatient department and indoor wards of The Calcutta Medical Research Institute, Kolkata. After taking an accurate history and proper clinical examination these patients were sequentially studied by radiological methods (Ultrasonography and mammography), fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and histopathology of removed specimen. Patients were enquired about their age, chief complaints, menstrual history, and use of oral pill, marital status, parity, lactation and socioeconomic status. RESULTS 79% of the benign breast lumps were found to be between 10-35 years, Fibro adenoma being the commonest one (41.38%) and fibrocystic disease the second most common (29.31%). Breast lump were more common among unmarried and nulliparous females (48.27%), commonest site being upper and outer quadrant (38.8%). 69% patients were associated with an abnormal menstrual status. 76% of the cases were accurately diagnosed by clinical examination, 70% by mammography, 88% by FNAC and 84% by ultrasonography. CONCLUSION This clinicopathological study of benign breast lump is a small endeavour on our part to suggest that correct interpretation of clinical, radiological, cytological and histopathological findings will help for accurate diagnosis of benign breast lumps.
