Fibroadenoma or breast cancer?

---

I felt a lump in my chest. How can I tell if it is fibroadenoma or breast cancer?
Is it possible to daignose this without getting an exam. aka, worrying my mother?
You should consult to the doctor. i just had my operation last Saturday and biopsy result is fibroadenoma. But don't worry not all cases has to go through operation. Mine is giant thats why had to remove it.  (+ info)

Can birth control cause fibroadenoma?

---

I only ask because i just had one removed and am recovering from surgery. My doctor said it was odd because I am not experiancing anything that would cause a huge hormonal change in my body. The only thing I can think of is my birthcontrol.
No.  (+ info)

fibroadenoma breast for my 14 year old girl before 1 year now another lump is there any danger?

---

Fibroadenoma is a benign breast tumor. It is also referred to as breast mouse as it is freely movable and can occur in both breasts. Usually the doctor’s opt for a needle biopsy and serial clinical examinations to determine the rate of growth. If the rate of growth is slow these are left alone but if they are fast growing surgery is the only option.
Please do not worry as these tumors do not turn malignant.

Does fibroadenoma of the breast lead to breast cancer?

---

it is a benign disorder, does not lead to cancer, just ensure that you feel it once a month and if it seems to be changing size or consistency then you talk to your doctor asap, good luck  (+ info)

does anybody know the pathogenesis of fibroadenoma?

---

wat are its precipitating and predisposing factors, its causes and how these things lead to formation of a benign mass in the breast called fibroadenoma...
I did a search on this to see what I could find and am including the link to the search I did:

Does this sound like a Fibroadenoma lump?

---

The lump is round/oval shape

Its movable

Its hard

Its in my left breast

Its 2cm

Its smooth

I am a 18 year old girl

I have had a FNA biopsy that came back normal and am having an ultrasound I am just worried and wondering if it is just likely a fibroadenoma.
Yes it is likely a fibroadenoma. Out of every 1 million girls 15-19 years old 1.3 are diagnosed with breast cancer.  (+ info)

Has anyone ever had a non-cystic fibroadenoma in the breast?

---

I have a painfull lump in my right breast I went to the doc yesterday and he sent me for an ultrasound today well I got the results back already and he said it was a non-cystic fibroadenoma that has to be removed because its 2 and a half cm/2and a half cm. that they need to remove and do a biopsy even tho he says that these are non-cancer but because of the size they need to make sure there arnt any bad cells getting ready to form or see if any have already. It has already been explained to me what it is but what I am wanting to know is if there are any other women out there that has had one of these and what do I expect as far as surgical procedure and pain afterwards.I see the surgeon tues. for pre-surg consult.
I had surgery just a few months ago, 3 lumps removed, all benign fibroadenomas. The procedure itself was pretty simple. It was outpatient surgery, and I think I was only in the hospital for about 6 hours. That included prep, surgery, and recovery.

I had quite a bit of pain afterwards, but I DID have 3 incisions, and you have to admit...they're in a really awkward place! It's very difficult to do anything for yourself and I had a really hard time lifting anything larger than a book for about a week. I also have a very physical job, so the surgeon told me to wait at least 4-5 weeks before going back. Again, I had 3 incisions, so hopefully you'll recover more quickly with just one.

Getting the lump removed is the best thing to do. Without a biopsy, there's no way to tell for sure if it is or isn't cancer, and leaving it to grow can only cause problems, especially if it's painful.

Good luck, and gather your friends, they'll support you. I know how scary it can be and I wouldn't have made it thru as well as I did without my friends to help and support me.  (+ info)

why isn't anyone answering my question?Does anyone have a fibroadenoma?

does anyone have a fibroadenoma on there breast and if you do can it disapper or get bigger i'm concerned?
i met to say in there breast lady's
hi, I am in the process of finding out if I have fibroadenoma or something else. Are you sure it is getting bigger or is just moving closer to the outside of breast ( which in my case has made it more painful). Also you say that it is getting bigger, but do you feel like you can move the lump around a little? If you can that's usually good thing. Make sure that you see a doctor, I am sure that it is nothing to worry about. However, it's nice to have a piece of mind. I have listed a web site that will answer you questions from a medical stand point.  (+ info)

Ever heard of cystosarcoma phylloides breast lump, variant of fibroadenoma?

---

I had mammogram & ultrasound today that's what the doc thinks one of the lumps is....it's solid with a fluid interior...any info would be great, thanks!
thanks, the doc told me it was not a cyst but a solid mass with fluid in the middle part and they did a core biopsy....will know more soon I guess
Cystosarcoma phylloides or Phylloides tumour is breast lump which is locally malignant (More often than not). There is however a benign variant.
It is most important to understand that cystosarcoma phylloides does not spread to local or regional lymphnodes. It may spread by contiguity (i.e., by local extension) if neglected for long enough. But if diagnosed early and removed surgically the prognosis (chance of having normal life) is very good and bright.
It is a leaf like tumour (Phylloides means leafy). It is a soft bulky and fleshy tumour. This condition affects young adults (ladies). Very rare in the elderly. It may ulcerate (meaning cause a break in the skin and extrude out). It is painless.
The correct treatment is nothing short of SIMPLE MASTECTOMY (As against Radical Mastectomy for Infiltrating duct carcinomas) No nodal dissection is required in case of Cystosarcoma Phylloides (Arm pit lymph glands need not be touched because the spread to those nodes is an exception).
But Simple Mastectomy is a must because if you do anything short of Simple Mastectomy it may recur. It is highly notorious for recurrence. Therefore Simple Mastectomy has to be done properly and meticulously. Simple Mastectomy means complete removal of Nipple, Areola and Breast tissue including the Pectoralis fascia (Meaning the fascial sheath underneath the breast tissue proper) in order to give good clearance and minimise chance of recurrence.
As answered by someone aspirating the cyst is not the correct method of treatment. Aspiration is done only for benign cysts which are very commonly seen in any breast and these cysts are only due to the cyclical hormonal changes (Aberrations of Normal Development and Involution = ANDI for short). Aspiration is not done for a proven case of Cystosarcoma Phylloides.
The contralateral breast (other breast) will not be affected in Cystosarcoma Phylloides. However one may keep it under observation after surgery to the affected breast.
One need not worry about losing the form or shape of breast after simple mastectomy. As this is not a cancer in its true sense, we can reconstruct the bust using either LD flap or TRAM flap. We can also give the shape by the use of Silicon Implants that can be kept beneath the skin flaps and inflated from outside through a tube in stages. Or if you are not so much worried and interested in reconstruction of breast or losing the form and only interested in complete cure and leading a normal life, just go for Simple Mastectomy. There are plenty of moulds or forms made of soft plastic material that match the consistency of the breast tissue which can be worn within the cup of the Bra on the operated side.
The reconstructed breast tissue will only maintain form or figure of the body; but will not be functional (meaning breast feeding is not possible) By maintaining form one will not lose her self confidence and socialization will not be a problem because others will not know that you have had a mastectomy. That's all.
Areola can be reconstructed on this breast at the same time as the first operation or at a later date. Areola can be reconstructed by using the tattooing method (not so good) or by using part of areola of the other breast or by the use of skin of the labia minora (private part)  (+ info)
