Methods: This is a prospective study of 116 females with breast complaints presenting to surgery department over a period of one year. Malignant cases are excluded from the study. In addition to detailed history, triple assessment including thorough clinical examination, imaging study and tissue biopsy was done to arrive at a diagnosis. Results: Most common BBD is fibroadenoma followed by mastalgia, breast abscess and fibrocystic disease in our population.
