Question 1

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 2

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 3

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 4

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.

Question 5

can a mammogram irritate a fibroadenoma?

Accepted Answer

Mammogram ?: A digital mammogram cannot "irritate" or cause a fibroadenoma, but any "breast lump" at age 52 should be evaluated by exam and mammography, and if there is breast cancer in your prime relatives history (mother, sisters, aunts on mother's side, etc.) a bilateral MRI of breasts is more accurate.

Question 6

does nuvaring have any effect on fibroadenomas?

Question 7

how much does a fibroadenoma removal surgery cost?

Accepted Answer

Discuss with MD: I assume this is a Breast fibroadenoma. If removal is required, it is done as a day surgery procedure. Cost varies on your type of insurance, surgery location, and other factors. Talk with you&#x27;re treating physician for best surgical options. Some fibroadenomas may be watched without surgery. If a more serious diagnosis is in question, removal is best option.

Question 8

i need your expertise, is fibroadenoma very fatal disease?

Accepted Answer

No, not really: A fibroadenoma by definition is a benign lump, usually found in the breast of a young woman. Most of them do not need any treatment unless they are are big or growing in size.

Question 9
