Breast Fibroadenoma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A breast fibroadenoma is a very common benign (noncancerous) tumor, made up of glandular and connective tissue, that usually appears in young women.
How it shows up: It is usually felt as a firm, smooth, movable lump, with well-defined edges and generally painless, that may change in size over the course of the cycle.
When to see a doctor? Any new lump in the breast deserves an evaluation to confirm its nature, although most fibroadenomas do not pose a risk.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is usually the one who evaluates these findings; in some cases the surgeon takes part for a more detailed review. If you discover a lump in the breast, having it checked by a professional will give you peace of mind and clarity about the steps to follow.
