Hello,
Thank You for the query at HealthcareMagic

The lump you are describing is likely to be a Fibroadenoma or due to fibrocystic disease of breast. Both these conditions are benign/ non cancerous.
However, any lump in your breast requires further evaluation and biopsy if needed. Please follow up with your primary care provider to get the necessary evaluation done.
