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
