Benign breast diseases constitute a heterogeneous group of disorders including developmental abnormality, epithelial and
stromal proliferation, inflammatory lesions and neoplasm. Benign breast lesions deserve attention because of their high
prevalence, their impact on women’s life and due to cancerous potential of some histological types. So the study is aimed
to attempt clinico-pathological correlation of non-neoplastic lesion of breast lump with detail history and pathological
findings. The present study is prospective and retrospective study of non-neoplastic breast lesions carried out in
department of pathology with the help of department of surgery at one of the teaching hospital in north Maharashtra. The
retrospective study was done between May 2015 to July 2018 and prospective study between august 2018 to may 2019.
Total one hundred cases of non neoplastic lesions of breast were studied in detail with relation to available clinical data.
Tissue for H&E sections were fixed in 10% formalin and subjected to routine paraffin embedded processing and stained
with Hematoxylin and Eosin. Out of 78 cases of non- neoplastic lesions of female breast, 45 cases 57.96% were of
benign proliferative lesions, 30 cases 38.46% of inflammatory lesions and 3 cases of miscellaneous lesions. Maximum
numbers of cases were found in age group 21-50 years with commonly presented with lump and pain. Inflammatory
lesions and fibrocystic disease are the two common non neoplastic lesions of the breast tented to occur in 2nd to 4th decade
