AN OVERVIEW OF SURGICALLY TREATED BENIGN BREAST DISEASE IN WESTERN ODISHA – A HOSPITAL BASED RETROSPECTIVE CLINICO-PATHOLOGICAL STUDY

Abstract

Background - Benign breast disease in women is a very common finding. A firm understanding of benign breast disease is important since sequential steps are necessary to distinguish lesions which impart a high risk of subsequent breast cancer from those which do not. Purpose: To know the characteristics of benign breast diseases which were treated surgically. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 111 patients with benign breast disease who were treated surgically from June 2021 to June 2023. Patients who did not required surgery were excluded. Histopathopathological reports were collected from pathology. Results: Majority of patients with benign breast disease, who were treated surgically, had fibro adenoma. The disease was more common in the age group 20-29 years. The most common site was upper outer quadrant and side was right. Conclusion: This study delineated that majority of patients with benign breast disease, who were treated surgically, had fibro adenoma.
