Introduction: Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in Indian women. But, its incidence can be decreased if its detection is made at earliest stages, i.e. in the preinvasive stage. This present study was undertaken to assess the incidence of CA breast in benign breast lumps. Material and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Pathology, JSS medical college and hospital. The data was collected form medical records department. The study period was of one years from Feb 2018 to March 2019 after approval from institutional ethics committee. Results: A total of 200 cases of breast lesions were analyzed. The ratio of benign to malignant lesions was 3.9:1. The overall mean age of patients with breast lesion was 34.5 years. Among 20.5% malignant cases, the age group affected most was 41-50 years. Only 6% of breast lesions were of inflammatory nature. Only 3% were malignant among the benign masses. The most common type of malignancy observed was invasive carcinoma of no special type (NST). Conclusion: The pattern of breast lesions provides valuable information regarding clinic-pathological profile of patients. The clinical diagnosis of breast lesions should be correlated with histopathological features for correct and adequate management of the case.
