Eight hundred forty-one patients with biopsy-proven benign breast disease were followed annually in prospective manner for 1ｰ10 years to analyse breast cancer development at aspect of histologic features, age at entry and mammographic patterns by Wolfe. No association was found between patients who developed cancer and those who did not with respect to the initial histologic features. The rate of breast cancer development in patients in thirties was the highest. The breast cancer development was found most often in Iess than three years follow-up period. The breast parenchymal patterns at entry related to cancer development. In 10 cancer patients, 8 patients showed DY pattern and 2 showed P2 patterns.
The present results demonstrate that the patients with biopsy-proven benign breast disease in thirties, in less than 3 years follow up period and have parenchymal patterns of P2 or DY should be followed carefully.
