Fibroadenoma of breast
A Fibroadenoma or solid breast lumps, is a benign tumour found in the tissue of the breast.
It appears most commonly in younger women between the ages of 15-35, after the puberty.
They are not harmful, but they can grow large enough to restrict circulation in the breast or infringe upon a woman’s freedom of movement.
They are usually painless, but sometimes they may feel tender or even painful, particularly just before a period.
Some fibroadenomas are so small that they cannot be felt. When you can feel one, it is very distinct from the surrounding tissue. The edges are clearly defined, and the tumours have a detectable round shape.
It might feel like a pea in the breast. Or it may feel flat like a coin. When touched, it moves easily within the breast tissue.
They are moveable under the skin and are typically not tender. These tumours often feel firm like marbles but may have a rubbery feel to them.
Hormones such as oestrogen may play a part in the growth and development of these lumps.
Taking oral contraceptives before the age of 20 have also been associated with a higher risk of developing fibroadenomas.
These tumours may grow, particularly during pregnancy too. During menopause, they often shrink.
It is also possible for fibroadenomas to resolve on their own.
There are different types of fibroadenomas: simple, complex and giant fibroadenomas.
The simple tumours do not increase breast cancer risk and look the same all over when viewed under a microscope.
The complex tumours get bigger over time and contain other components such as macro-cysts (fluid-filled sacs large enough to feel and to see without a microscope) and calcifications (calcium deposits). They can press on or displace nearby breast tissue and can slightly increase risks of breast cancer.
Giant fibroadenomas grow quickly to larger than 2 inches (up to 5 centimetres). They also can press on nearby breast tissue or push it out of place.
