WHAT IS FIBROADENOMA?

Fibroadenomas are the most common solid (solid, not filled with fluid), benign (benign) breast tumors in women of all ages.

Fibroadenomas are the most common solid (not filled with fluid), benign (benign) breast tumors in women of all ages. They occur in more than one location in 20% of cases. The majority of solid breast tumors (mass) that are radiologically considered benign are fibroadenomas.

When a lesion suspected of being a fibroadenoma is first detected, it is followed at six-month intervals for 2.5-3 years, and a logical conclusion is made that it is definitely benign. This is because, even if fibroadenomas do not become cancerous, there are cancers that mimic fibroadenomas. To avoid risk in such cases, when a lesion suspected of being a fibroadenoma is detected, it is followed radiologically for 2.5-3 years at six-month intervals.

Fibroadenomas can grow and shrink due to hormonal influences. They often shrink and calcify after menopause. They can grow significantly during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
