Retrospective analysis highlights age distribution and prevalence of malignant breast lesions in females, suggesting targeted awareness is needed.

Approximately 46% of examined breast lesions were malignant, predominantly affecting females, indicating a significant health issue.
The most common subtype was invasive ductal carcinoma, which represented 90% of malignant cases, with a mean patient age of 49.2 years.
A total of 3,966 specimens were evaluated over ten years, showing a benign-to-malignant ratio of approximately 2:1 among breast lesions.
Findings emphasize the need for improved diagnostic infrastructure and early detection strategies, particularly for less common male breast cancer.

EO et al. (2025) studied this question.
