Aim: To assess the different modes of presentation of benign breast diseases Methods: This is a hospital based prospective study carried out in the Department of General Surgery, KVG Medical College & Hospital, Sullia for a period of one and half years from 1st November, 2019 to 30th April, 2021. The study was done in 82 patients who presented to the Surgery OPD and admitted in surgery ward for benign breast disorders fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Results: This study comprised of 82 patients with benign breast diseases. The commonest problem was found to be fibroadenoma accounting for 63.41% followed by fibroadenosis (14.63%). The other benign lesions observed were breast abscess, phyllodes, and breast cyst. Lump in the breast was the predominant symptom present in 77 cases (93.90%) followed by pain in breast in 28 cases (34.14%). Conclusion: Benign breast disorders are a common occurrence in women between 20-40years of age group. Awareness of breast disorders, Breast self-examination (BSE), and Triple assessment are required for early diagnosis and prompt treatment as most of the anxiety and worry of having breast cancer can be alleviated.
