Hi thanks for contacting HCM...
Here no need for much worry ....
You can have fibroadenoma or fibroma like benign tumour ....
From that lesion FNAC is taken at central patho lab and examine the smear with giemsa stain....
It might show morphology of benign breast tumour ....
Clinical observation done ....
Regular follow up necessary .....
This small benign nodule can be surgically excised and send it for histopathological examination....
Consult general surgeon for its examination ....
Take care ....
Along with FNAC , USG also helpful....
