- A lump in the breast refers to an unusual growth of tissue within the breast that may differ in size, shape, and texture. Although most are harmless (benign breast lesions), it is essential to have any new lump assessed by a healthcare professional.
- Fibroadenoma is one of the most frequently occurring types of benign breast lumps, especially in women under 30. These lumps are composed of a combination of glandular and fibrous tissues and are usually round or oval with a smooth, firm texture. They often feel rubbery and mobile when touched.

Symptoms of Fibroadenoma
Smooth and movable:
Fibroadenomas typically feel firm, and smooth, and can easily shift beneath the skin.
Hormonal changes in size:
These lumps may increase or decrease in size during the menstrual cycle or pregnancy due to hormonal fluctuations.
Usually painless:
Most fibroadenomas are classified as a non-painful lump in the breast, though some tenderness may occur during hormonal changes.
Single or multiple lumps:
A person may notice a single lump or multiple lumps in one or both breasts.
How is Fibroadenoma Diagnosed?
Clinical Examination:
A thorough physical check of the breasts by a healthcare provider to identify abnormalities.
Ultrasound:
Imaging to distinguish between cystic and solid lumps, offering a detailed view of breast tissue.
Mammogram:
Recommended for women over 40 or those with concerning symptoms.
Biopsy:
In certain cases, a tissue sample may be collected from the lump and analyzed to confirm if it is benign or malignant.
