Hi Greetings from Hcm. Fibrocystic change and fibroadenoma are benign breast diseases which are due to aberration in normal development and involution.What your doctor has suggested is right.Mammogram with an ultrasound is the investigation of choice. If mammogram is showing microcalcification you confirm the diagnosis by FNAC and if still not confirmed you undergo a biopsy
