    Abstract Background: Benign breast tumors are common worldwide and various reports suggest an increasing incidence in Nigeria which necessitates an urgent need to differentiate it from malignant tumors. The study was carried out to classify and determine the pattern, frequency, age, and sex distribution of benign breast tumors seen in a tertiary hospital. Materials and Methods: This was a 10-year retrospective study of all benign breast tumors diagnosed at the Pathology Department of a teaching hospital from January 1 2001 to December 31 2010. Results: A total of 1566 breast tumors were diagnosed during the study period, 1035 cases of benign breast tumors constituting 66.3% of all breast tumors were seen. The female to male ratio was 72.9:1. The overall mean age for benign breast tumor was 29 years with a peak age occurrence in the third decade. Fibroadenoma (FA) was the most common benign breast tumor followed by fibrocystic change and they accounted for 47.1% and 25.4% of benign breast tumors with mean age of 24.7 years and 33.4 years, respectively. FA has a peak occurrence in the third decade while fibrocystic change has a peak occurrence in the fourth decade. Other major tumors encountered were tubular adenoma (6.0%), lactating adenoma (5.6%), benign phyllodes (4.8%), sclerosing adenoma (3.3%), and blunt duct adenoma (2.5%). Gynecomastia (1.4%) was the only benign breast tumor seen in males.Conclusions: Benign breast tumors are quite common, presenting mostly as FA and fibrocystic change. The tumors are seen in both sexes with a striking female preponderance and occurred predominantly in young females with a peak in the third decade. The findings are generally similar to the most previous studies from Nigeria, Africa, and the Western world with minimal variations.

    Abstract In spite of immense benefits derivable from carrying out autopsy on the dead, its practice has been very limited in northern Nigeria. One of the reasons for this is the perception that religion opposes the practice of autopsy. Using online search engines and religious doctrinal literature including the Qur'an, Bible and Talmud, a review of their teachings regarding autopsies was conducted. Findings were then harmonized with the practice of autopsy in its present form. Available literature reveals that the religious impediments include the permissibility or otherwise of the procedure, timing, opposite sexes seeing the corpse's nakedness, body mutilation, exhumation of the dead and retention of organs or tissues for teaching purposes. This study concludes that no religion expressly condemns the practice of autopsying the dead, and that the meeting points for various religions and the practice of autopsy is the need for learning and dispensation of justice. However, there is also a common agreement on the need for the procedure to be done promptly and to maintain the dignity of the dead during the procedure.
