Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence rate of benign breast disease is not clear due to the fact that breast lumps do not consider as life threatening problems[1]
- Women who receive medical therapies or surgeries mostly come into account
- Particular detection rate is not known and estimated
Prevalence
- The prevalence of benign breast disease is approximately 68% among all breast diseases[2]
- Approximately 605 of benign breast diseases occur in left breast and 40% in the right breast
- 100% of definite palpable lumps are characteristics of fibroadenoma,phyllodes tumor and adenomyoepithelioma
- 64% of lumps located in upper outer quadrant, 26% of lumps in lower outer quadrant, 10% of lumps in upper inner quadrant
Age
Age-specific incidence rate of benign breast diseases[1]
- The incidence rate of fibrocystic disease is 137 per 100000 in women aged 25-29 years,411 per 100000 in age of 40-44 years and 387 per 100000 in 45-49 years
- The incidence rate of fibroadenoma is 115 per 100000 in women aged 20-24 years
- The peak incidence rate of fibroadenoma is between 15-35 years[3]
- Fibrocystic disease, phyllodes tumor and adenomyoepithelioma are usually seen in 3rd and 4th decade of life[2]
Race
- There is no racial predilection to benign breast disease[4]
- The prevalence of fibroadenoma is higher in black women than white individuals[5]
