Question 1

what is bilateral fibrocystic disease of breasts?

Accepted Answer

Lumpy-Bumpy Breasts: Fibrocystic changes are a spectrum of pathologic findings seen on biopsy.  This has morphed into a clinical term for "lumpy-bumpy" breast tissue and/or dense tissue seen on mammography.  This is not a disease, just a variant of normal.  This requires no treatment, just reassurance.

Question 2

Monitor: The findings you mentioned are not worrisome and do not require any action. Do follow your doctor's advice about check-ups.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Fibrocystic: Fibrocystic breast abnormalities are harmless and common in some young women. They may become tender with menstruation. Caffeine in coffee or chocolate are suspected to be aggravating factors by many. If you still have concerns, I recommend that you consult a breast surgeon for evaluation and advice.

Question 4

good evening docs, had a breast scan. result; conclusion: bilateral fibroadenosis with right fibrocystic change. pls what does it mean docs ? thank u.

Accepted Answer

Normal: Fibrocystic changes are found in normal breast tissue.  It means that there were no malignant changes found.  Keep to your normal Breast screening schedule

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Likely not needed: Current national policy guidelines in the U.S. Recommend first mammogram at 40 years old unless you have mother or sister diagnosed with breast cancer at  a young age.

Question 6

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 7

fibroadenosis does it go away?

Accepted Answer

Not sure???: I am not sure if you are referring to fibroadenoma of the breast or sclerosing adenosis. In any case, neither will go away.

Question 8

how to confirm diagnosis of fibroadenosis?

Accepted Answer

Biopsy: An experienced surgeon can determine by examination and imaging if there is a fibroadenoma.  The most definitive confirmation is to have a needle biopsy.  This is performed as an outpatient procedure and results are back in 2-3 days.
Fibroadenomas are benign without any potential to turn into cancer.

Question 9

size 12.3mm x6.3mm
10.3mmx5.3mm 
6.1mmx5.5mm
7.8mmx6.2mm and 9.5mmx3.9mm?

Accepted Answer

Talk to your Dr.: Fibrocystic breasts are relatively common and most often benign. Your ultrasound showed discrete nodules which can be discussed with your Dr. Any calcifications or unusual cystic lesions should be investigated further. Make sure you follow up with your Dr to discuss the specific findings on your ultrasound and what they mean
