Hi thanks for using HCM.

Lump in breast can be a benign or malignant. first that needs to be evaluated.Depending on condition surgery differs. Benign lesions just requires a excision of lump only.
Malignant lesions needs more extended surgery.
Average duration of stay will be a week in uncomplicated cases. but it depends on type of surgery too.
