Objective: Many studies have been done and published on spectrum of breast lesions. There is a wide variation in the spectrum of breast diseases and the epidemiology of breast carcinoma in various countries or ethnic groups. The present study was done to know the spectrum of breast lesions in Sree Narayana Institute of Medical Sciences, Chalakka, North Paravur.

Materials and method: It is a retrospective study performed at Sree Narayana Institute of Medical Sciences, Chalakka, North Paravur over a period of 3 years from January 2014 to January 2017. During the period, a total of 50 breast specimens were received in the department of pathology. Histopathological examination of specimens was done to know the spectrum of breast lesions.

Results: All the patients were female. Age of the patients ranges from 10 to 80 years with the mean age of 34.8 years. Out of 50 patients, incidence of benign breast disease (76%) was found to be more than malignant disease (16%). The commonest benign breast disease was Fibroadenoma (36%) followed by fibrocystic disease (12%). Invasive ductal carcinoma was commonest malignant lesion we studied (12%). Mastitis with abscess was commonest among inflammatory lesions (4%).

Conclusion: Results of the present study were comparable with many other similar studies done in the past however we suggest the formation of larger series to achieve better result about the spectrum and burden of breast disease thereby benefitting public health.
