Clinico-Pathological and Imaging Correlation in Benign Breast Lumps Among Reproductive-Age Females: Focus on Fibroadenoma Management

Background: Benign breast diseases (BBDs) are more prevalent than malignant conditions in reproductive-age women. Fibroadenoma is the most common BBD.[1] Objectives: To analyze clinical, pathological, and imaging features of BBDs with a focus on management strategies for fibroadenoma. Methods: A prospective observational study of 100 female patients aged 15–49 presenting with breast lumps was conducted. Clinical evaluation, imaging (USG/mammography), and histopathology (FNAC/core biopsy) were performed. Results: Fibrocystic disease (37%) and fibroadenoma (33%) were the most common BBDs. There was a strong clinico-radiological and pathological correlation [2,3]. Conservative management of fibroadenoma was successful in most cases, with 76% showing reduction in lump size over six months. Conclusion: Triple assessment is essential for accurate diagnosis of BBDs. [4,5] Fibroadenoma in young women can often be managed conservatively with close follow-up.
