Background: Fibroadenomas of breast are the commonest benign breast conditions. It is an attempt to study this common condition.
Methods: Fifty cases with histologically diagnosed cases of fibroadenoma were included in the study and were compared with previous data from literature.
Results: All the fifty patients included in this study were indoor patients. Maximum number of patient were in third decade (64%). Urban females have higher incidence of fibroadenoma (72%). Most fibroadenoma are unilateral (86%). Fibroadenoma are commonly present in upper lateral quadrant of breast (34%). Large sized fibroadenoma are common (58%). Pericanalicular pattern is most common histopathological finding (84%). Surgical excision is the commonest mode of treatment (36%).
Conclusions: Fibroadenoma are common in third decade, urban female population. Fibroadenoma are usually unilateral, pericanalicular histological variant.
