Summary

Benign breast disorders (BBDs) are non-malignant breast conditions. Though they account for the most common breast lesions, they are considered less important than their malignant counterparts. Nonetheless, accurate diagnosis, quantification of the risk of malignancy and appropriate treatment are of paramount importance because symptoms such as pain or nipple discharge and the fear of malignancy can cause enormous worry to the woman and her family.
