Abstract

‘Fibroadenoma’, is the most common benign tumors among most of the young female patients who are in their adolescent phase. They can be asymptomatic or painful and sometimes develop as tumors which cause distortions of breast. Here we have conducted a descriptive 6 months survey from April to September, 2018 at Dr. Bholanath Chakravarty Integrated Medical Research and Treatment Centre. All the clinical records along with the consent of the patients were taken and recorded for future analysis. It was observed that among selected 113 patients attending the OPD, 11 patients (9.73%) were found as confirmed cases of fibroadenoma via diagnostic techniques ultrasonography and X-Ray Mammogram. Fibroadenomas are more frequent among married woman than unmarried woman. The factors such as early marriage and parity, age of menarche and age of menopause, hormonal therapy such as intake of oral contraceptives have no effect on these lesions. Our study revealed that the incidence percentage of fibroadenoma out of 113 cases were 11 (9.73%). Patients who undergo conservative therapy involves combination of progesterone and danazol as it is the most accepted theory for the treatment.
