Question 1

doctors, pls i really need to know is fibroadenosis is same thing as fibrocystic. and also, is fibroadenoma different from fibroadenosis ? thank u.

Accepted Answer

Need to talk to MD: Must speak to your doctor for clear clarification  Fibroadenoma is a benign tumor need simple removal  In fibrocystic disease besides cystic areas the ducts proliferate term Fibroadenisis applied as is do not need excisional surgery if there is no aypia or premalignant changes , will need needle biopsy and monitoring , this only your doctor can answer ,what is needed for you.

Question 2

good evening doctors, pls docs, cld u pls differentiate fibroadenosis and fibroadenoma, also fibrocystic change. thank u doctors.

Accepted Answer

All benign: These names refer to disordered growth of breast tissue that is frequent but benign. The breast is made of stromal and glandular tissue components; stromal includes fat and fibrous/scar-like material while glandular is the tissue that produces secretion. Both can be increased diffusely (fibroadenosis; fibrocystic change) or locally (fibroadenoma).

Question 3

i had several breast fibroadenomas removed over the last few years. now i have fibroadenoma and cysts. is it fibrocystic disease? will i have fibroade

Accepted Answer

Probably: Sounds like you have benign changes in your breast that are consistent with fibrocystic changes.  Most pathologists don't use the term disease anymore since fibrocystic changes are benign and very common especially in young people.  I see this nearly everyday in my practice.  Fibroadenomas are also benign and can been with or without surrounding fibrocystic changes.

Question 4

my wife us showed bilateral fibrocystic disease and ductectasia (birads ii). small right sided fibroadenoma (birads iii). bilateral enlarged axillary lymph nodes, likely reactional. what should she do? is it serious? thanks

Accepted Answer

Talk to doctor: Your doctor should be the one who can discuss these issues with you.  It does not seem that she has any cancerous lesions but then one needs to examine the lymph nodes to be sure.

Question 5

hi in september i found a lump in my breast i have since went to the doctor had an mammogram and ultra sound and was told i had a fibroadenoma and fibrocystic breast and to get daily check ups every since months but i have been having back pain regularly

Accepted Answer

Not Related: Your back pain is not related to your breast issues which are "benign" Upper back pain, however, can be associated with very large breasts (a reason for breast reduction surgery)
Hope this information helps!

Question 6

i have fibrocystic breast disease,bilateral axillary lymphadenopathy & fibroadenoma.breast lump was present since puberty.will danzole be safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Depends: On your symptoms, remember fibrocystic changes in the breasts are &quot;changes&quot; not a disease, the fact you have axillary lymphadenopathy and fibro adenoma, means that you have been evaluated professionally, please don&#x27;t self medicate, danazol is an impeded androgen and has its side effects, so kindly follow up with a breast specialist, have a 2nd or 3rd opinion, it&#x27;s your right, good luck

Question 7

can fibroadenoma be treated?

Accepted Answer

Surgery or watch: If fibroadenomas are small and not causing any trouble or interfering with the follow up of other suspicious lesions in the breast, they can just be left alone without further risk of problems. Otherwise, if they are very large or growing or causing deformity or pain, they can be removed by surgery (lumpectomy or excision biopsy).

Question 8

what are the tests for fibroadenoma?

Accepted Answer

Needle biopsy: Fibroadenomas have a very classic appearance on mammogram and ultrasound, but this can sometime be misleading.  The most definitive test is needle biopsy under x-ray or ultrasound guidance.  However, if it has been seen for years on mammography and is unchanged, ongoing observation is a reasonable option.

Question 9

could a fibroadenoma be hard and immovable?

Accepted Answer

No, usually not: Fibroadenoma usually is ruberry in texture, and mobile. When the lump is. Fixated to the chestwall and hard- other thing like a carcinoma/cancer should be ruled out. Go to see your doctor and have yourself checked. A biopsy should be done to really completely rule out malignancy.

Question 10

is a fibroadenoma fatal if untreated?

Accepted Answer

On the contrary!: Fibroadenomas are the most common benign breast tumor.  Excision is not necessary unless there are features that would suggest a rare variant of fibroadenomas, called phyllodes tumors.  Despite this, some women will still opt for excision due to the size of the tumor and/or fear surrounding constantly feeling a lump in one's breast.  If reassurance fails, the surgery itself is quite minimal.
