Brief Answer:
Most probably fibroadenoma, not to worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
The characteristic finding of grape sized lump which is painless and moves freely in a girl of 16 is always due to a condition called fibroadenoma.
This is and remains benign, never transforms into anything serious like cancer, hence not to worry at all.
Only chances are that it may grow very large.
Hence it is always better to get removed for the following reasons:
She gets rid of a lump which is not a normal part of the body.
Secondly, you get a confirmed pathological diagnosis and the worry goes away forever.
I hope this answers your query.
