There is no risk in a biopsy...
A breast fibroadenoma is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor that develops in the breast tissue. It is made up of glandular and fibrous tissue and can feel like a smooth, firm lump in the breast.
Breast fibroadenomas most commonly occur in women between the ages of 15 and 35. They are also more commonly seen in women who have a family history of fibroadenomas or other breast conditions.
A breast fibroadenoma can be diagnosed through a physical exam, imaging tests such as a mammogram or ultrasound, and a biopsy to confirm the presence of fibroadenoma cells.
No, breast fibroadenomas are not associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. However, it is important to continue with regular breast screenings and follow-up appointments with a healthcare provider to monitor any changes in the fibroadenoma or to check for any other breast health concerns.
Most breast fibroadenomas do not require treatment and can be monitored with regular breast exams and imaging tests. In some cases, if the fibroadenoma is causing discomfort or is growing in size, it may be surgically removed. However, this decision should be made in consultation with a healthcare provider.
