Abstract

Introduction & Objective: BREAST CANCER is the most common cancer among women with an increasing rate among developing countries. In Iran, BREAST CANCER affects, women at least one decade earlier than their counterparts in developed countries. Moreover there’s not still any comprehensive published mass data about benign BREAST MASSes among Iranian women. In this study we present epidemiological data about benign and malignant BREAST MASSes among women in Esfahan, Iran.Materials & Methods: A total of 1542 females older than 20 referring to the MAMMOGRAPHY center of said alshohada Hospital of Esfahan between 2003 to 2007 were studied. After a comprehensive breast exam by trained physicians, information including age, physical exam results and patient’s complaints were collected for each patient. MAMMOGRAPHY was obtained from patients and tissue sample was prepared if become necessary and related data were recorded.Results: Among these 1542 patients 222 (14.4%) had BREAST MASSes in physical exam or MAMMOGRAPHY, including 190 (12.3%) patients with benign and 32 (2.1%) patients with malignant masses. Among patients with benign masses the most prevalent age group was 40-49 (38.3%) and so was the case with patients having malignant masses (38.4%). The most common presented symptom was dull pain (59.4% of complaints).The most prevalent malignancy was invasive ductal carcinoma (90.2%) and other types were medullary carcinoma and colloid tubular carcinoma, with frequencies of 7.3% and 2.5% respectively.Conclusions: According to our study BREAST MASSes are prevalent among Iranian females from 40 to 49 years old. Dull pain is the most common complaint of patients and invasive ductal carcinoma is the most common type of breast malignancy in Iranian females.
