摘要
在2001年1月1日至2005年12月31日期间,在三角洲州Eku浸信会医疗中心对所有良性乳腺肿块进行了5年回顾性检查。乳腺良性肿块占乳腺活检的72.64%,女性占96.10%;年龄13 ~ 66岁,平均28.8岁。纤维腺瘤最常见(68.83%),大小为1cm ~ 14cm,平均3.66cm。本研究表明良性乳腺肿块在这种环境下很常见,并鼓励自我乳房检查和临床乳房检查。关键词:良性,乳腺肿块,纤维腺瘤,尼日利亚尼日利亚外科杂志Vol. 17 (2) 2007: pp. 105-108
A 5-year retrospective review of all benign breast masses was carried out at the Baptist Medical Center, Eku, Delta State between January 1st 2001 and December 31st 2005. Benign breast masses made up 72.64% of breast biopsies, 96.10% were females; with age ranged between 13 and 66years (mean 28.8years). Fibroadenoma was most common (68.83%) and the sizes ranged from 1cm to 14cm with mean of 3.66cm. This study shows that benign breast masses are common in this environment and encourages self-breast examination and clinical breast examination.
