Fibroadenoma

May be you often hear about Fibroadenomas, and may be some of you got this thing in your life. Actually, what is it ?
This is a benign group of cells that support other kinds of cells in your breast. These are made of fibrous and glandular

tissues.
Fibroadenomas are noncancerous lumps that feel rubbery and are easily moveable within the breast tissue. Like fibrocystic

changes, they occur most often during the reproductive years. Usually, they are not tender and, except in rare cases, do not

become cancerous later. A doctor may feel fairly certain from an exam that a particular lump is a fibroadenoma. The only way

to be sure, however, is to remove or biopsy it.
These can be located near the surface of the breast and are easily felt.
How to treat this ? To be sure that a pseudolump is harmless, get a mammogram and ultrasound, and if those are not clear, have a needle biopsy done, so that a tissue sample can be analyzed by a pathologist. If it is bothersome, you can have it removed surgically.
