Nowadays incidence of breast malignant lesions is on rising side in India, which can be attributed partly to increasing awareness and mostly due to changing lifestyle and increased hormone usage. Present study of malignant  lesions of breast is a four year prospective study done including all the breast malignant lesions in the study period to know the incidence of malignant lesions of breast, age incidence, uni or bilaterality, histological variants and their biological behavior. This study shows the importance of early diagnosis of in-situ carcinomas and recognizing invasive carcinomas in early stages and of low grades before distant spread. This study also explains that the histological typing of the tumors is useful in understanding the morphological and biological behavior of the tumor as some types of carcinomas are aggressive in nature. Grading and staging is also has a major role in deciding the line of management  (surgical, radiotherapy and medical) and in assessing the prognosis of the disease also.
