Introduction: Though mostly benign in nature, breast lump can be malignant. Since breast carcinoma is the second most common killer of the female cancer, it is important to detect it at early stage. Our study aimed to analyse histopathology profile of breast lump. Methods: Histopathology samples were received, processed, reported and recorded in the Pathology laboratory at the Department of Pathology, Govt. Medical College Srinagar. Data was analysed for the period of 1 year. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse the data. Results: Out of 175 breast pathology specimens, seven of our patients were male, 142 (81.14%) were reported as benign and 33(18.86%) as malignant tumors. Mean age of carcinoma patients was 44.9 years. (41.38%) of the malignant neoplasm were of Stage IIIB. Conclusion: Every fifth sample had carcinoma and it is mostly seen after 40 years of age.
