| Background: The most common benign tumor of the breast in young females is fibroadenoma. It is a biphasic tumor, which has a stromal and an epithelial component. It usually presents as a painless, mobile, well-defined mass. Aim of the study: We tried to address the percentage of occurrence of fibroadenomas in various ages in female breast. Patients and Methods: 60 female patients coming to breast outpatient clinic with breast complaints between 15 and 60 years old, we separated studied cases into two groups according to age; group A below 30 years old and group B above 30 years old.We excluded from ourstudy patients who had no breast lesion by clinical examination, and patients refused to participate in our study. The studied cases were subjected to clinical examination, US and (or) mammography and tru-cut biopsy. Results: We found that occurrence of fibroadenomas in all age groups was 39/60 [65%], below age of 30 was 24/39 [61.53%] while its occurrence above age of 30 was 15/39 [38.46%]. The peak incidence of fibroadenoma was between 20 and 30 years old (56.4%). while incidence after age of 40 years old was 7.69%. Most lesions were in upper outer quadrant (56.41%). Lumps size ranged from about 0.5 cm to 4.5 cm in greatest dimension, most lumps [79.48%] not exceed 1 cm, 25.64% of patientshad breast lesionsbilaterally, 35.89% had aright-side lesion and 38.46% had left sidelesion.Conclusion: Fibroadenomais the most common breast lesion and its occurrence differ greatly in various age groups with peak incidence between ages of 20-30 years old, and less common after age of 40 years old. | ||||
