Overview

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

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
