Table no 1. is about the history of breast
problems in family. However, a family history of
breast cancer and fibro adenomas in first-degree
relatives was reported by some investigators to
be related with increased risk of developing these
tumors. In some cases, a strong family history of
breast cancer is linked to having an abnormal
gene associated with a high risk of breast cancer.
And it shows that 40.0 percent patients are the
family history of breast fibro adenomas. And 32.5
percent respondents said that she is the only one
having this problem. But 27.5 percent patients
have family history but not in close relatives.
Although malignant transformation in a fibro
adenomas is rare, high suspicion index in middle
age women with fibro adenomas and associated
risk factors like strong family history (Moskowitz,
et al. 1980; McDivtt, et al. 1965; Goldman, et al.
1969).

Table no 2. Illustrates that Fibro adenomas are
benign (not cancerous) breast lump that occurs
mainly in a woman under 35 Fibro adenomas is
the most common benign tumors of breast which
implies a new growth comprising of both fibrous
and glandular tissue. Fibro adenoma is a tumor
formed of mixed fibrous and glandular tissue,
typically occurring as a benign growth in the
breast. Only 72.5 percent patients are with fibro
adenomas. Cyst is a membranous sac or cavity of
abnormal character in the body, containing
fluid.17.5 percent patients are with the cyst. And
cancer is a disease caused by an uncontrolled
division of abnormal cells in a part of the body.
Only 10 percent patients are with cancer. The
study shows that a few people think that when
they feel lumps in breast they think that it could
be fibro adenomas, cyst or cancer (Raganoonan,
et al. 1987; Rattan, et al. 2007).

Table no 3. Describes when patients feel pain and
the size of lump increases they have removed the
lumps by surgery. Fibro adenomas are partially
hormone-dependent and frequently regress after
menopause. Fibro adenoma is usually diagnosed
through clinical examination, ultrasound or
mammography, and often a needle biopsy
sample of the lump. The extent of the operation
to remove fibro adenomas depends on its size.
Fibro adenomas usually present as firm,
mobile,painless,easily palpable breast nodules
and 37.5 percent patients have it. And 42.5
percent people removed it in case of feeling pain.
But most cases the size of lump does not increase

Table no 5.Represent that there is a high
incidence of benign breast lumps among women,
and these lumps may lead to physical and
psychological problems. Treatment for giant or
juvenile fibro adenomas in female is necessary
because of distortion of the breast, potential to
cause psychological harm, and potential for
enlargement that may cause venous congestion,
glandular distortion, pressure necrosis and
ulceration. The study aimed to evaluate anxiety
and depressive symptoms among patients with
benign breast lumps. Psychological guidance and
detailed explanations of the disease should be
offered to patients with benign breast lumps and
to adjust their psychological state and improve
the subjective feelings and understanding of the
disease (Phillips, et al. 2009).
CONCLUSION
From this study, it is obvious that the most
common benign breast disease in this
environment is fibro adenomas, followed by
fibrocystic changes and that generally, benign
breast disease is common in this region with
majority belonging to those with less relative risk
for cancer development. Therefore it is advisable
that all cases of breast lumps should be carefully
evaluated before definitive surgical procedures
are employed.
