title: Spectrum of breast disease in outpatient surgical practice.
abstract: Seven hundred and fifty-three new referrals with problems relating to the breast were seen as outpatients in a general surgical clinic during 1980 and 1981. The age distribution and final diagnoses are reported with a breakdown into the varying pathological groups. The relationship of diagnosis to previous benign breast disease, parity and breastfeeding is discussed.
