Fibrodenoma |

Text 
Most young women between the age of 15 to 25 years who present with a breast lump have a Fibroadenoma. This is the age when the hormonal activity in women is at its peak and these lumps are suspected to be nothing more than an aberration associated with the normal development of the breast. The lump is discreet and very mobile, so much so that it is sometimes called the ‘mouse of the breast.’ About 10% of fibroadenomas are multiple and 10% can disappear spontaneously each year. They seldom grow beyond 2 to 4 cms in size. Malignant potential of Fibroadenoma is about 3 %. Fibroadenomas are benign tumors composed of stromal and epithelial elements; some variants have a higher risk of cancer than others. • Sometimes the fibroadenoma in adolescents can grow rapidly and are called giant fibroadenomas or ‘Phylloides tumour’ and does have higher malignant potential. • If a fibroadenoma is associated with cystic changes or has calcifications or sclerosis they have a higher malignant potential. • Interestingly, woman who have had fibroadenoma excised are twice as likely to have carcinoma in comparison to the normal population and are candidates for breast cancer screening later in life. |

Posted on: 10/27/2011 My daughter was diagnosed to have fibroadenosis following a small lump in breast. It was surgically removed and biopsy showed fibroadenoma. Could a better diagnostic method could have avoided surgery and was it unnecessary as even fibro adenoma can followed up as she is only 20 years old????

Posted on: 04/04/2010 i also had a lump in my right breast though not painful.when i consulted the doctor he replied and explained about fibroadenosis for which FNAC test was conducted.he further said it is not abnormal till it projects out and it looks ugly.in that case a minor operation can be done.

Posted on: 02/03/2010 One week before my 18 birthday I realized that I had a pain in my breast which was unusal to those I experienced with my period. Within the last two days I observed a swelling in the left breast along with a constant lancing throughout the day. I visited my doctor who told me that the right breast was very soft but the left one was a bit lumpy. He went on to explin that I had a condition called Fibroadenosis and that it will be only experienced during, before or after my menstrual cycle. I am still concerned, can you tell me any thing more?

Posted on: 02/15/2010 Please dont worry , i have had these Lumps for over 22 years and every time i get them i question is it them or something else. my doctor is brilaiant and will reassure me and examine me just to put my mind at ease. the pain is excrutiation and she has told me that they go when you go through the menopause. i was 21 when i firs got them. the only good thing is i actually look as if i have a good chest, i find no pain relief helps. hope this is benefical to you. |
