Hi,
Fibroadenoma is the commonest breast tumor in young women under the age of 30 years. Usually it is painless and might be felt as a marble in your breast, moving easily under your skin when touched. Fibroadenomas can vary in size, and they can get bigger or even reduce on their own.
If it is painful or clinically suspicious then your doctor can request a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.
Surgery is not always required but might be done if your biopsy results or imaging (ultrasound scan breast) is abnormal. This needs to be discussed with a general surgeon. Surgery is not always recommended if diagnosis is confirmed because even if you remove one fibroadenoma then new ones can appear in the same or opposite breast.
Fibroadenomas are a type of harmless tumor and most of fibroadenomas do not cause any increased risk of breast cancer. The chances of it becoming a cancer is extremely rare. The breast cancer risk might increase slightly if you have a complex fibroadenoma which may contain abnormal cysts or dense, opaque tissue called calcifications. This will be known in detail only after doing imaging investigations like ultrasound scan or mammography as recommended by the surgeon after clinical examination. A pathologist makes the diagnosis of a complex fibroadenoma after reviewing the tissue from a biopsy of the lump.
Fibroadenomas in breast might be followed up regularly as per clinical opinion of the surgeons.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
