  Introduction: Fibroadenomas are one of the most common benign tumors of the breast in the adolescent population. They account for 68% of all breast masses and 44%-94% of all biopsied breast lesions. Fibroadenomas can range from asymptomatic masses to painful and rapidly growing tumors that can cause significant esthetic distortions of the breast. Benign breast disorders results from an imbalance or inappropriate target gland response to changing tide of circulating hormones. Several studies have shown that serum prolactin levels may be increased in benign breast diseases. Hence this study is intended to assess serum prolactin levels in patients presenting with fibroadenoma to our hospital. If a correlation is established between serum prolactin levels and incidence of fibroadenoma, a feasible drug treatment such as anti prolactin agents can .. Read More»
