Question 1

i have a tubular adenoma in my left breast can it turn into cancer and should i have it removed right away?

Accepted Answer

Yes   as soon : As possible , you can plan it and get it removed, they are true adenomas ( vs  fibroadenomas ) not very common, seen in younger age  , some case of malignant transformation was reported

Question 2

dr said breast lump was big and with echo he could tell if it was an adenoma, now says i need another scan because hes not sure?

Accepted Answer

Combined imaging: Evaluation of breast masses included sound wave tests, mammography (breast x-ray), and physical examination as the first tier. If findings are equivocal, a breast MRI (pictures with large magnets) or biopsy may be indicated.

Question 3

i am 19 year old. i feel a lump in upper lateral portion of left breast. its painless and little motile. is it surely a fibro adenoma?

Accepted Answer

It could be, but...: ...It's best to be seen by a breast surgeon, just to be sure.  At that time we can do an ultrasound +/- a (nonsurgical) biopsy, confirm the diagnosis and decide the best course of rx (which is often just observation).  I suggest you ask your gyne for a referral.

Question 4

can they tell if a breast tumor is cancerous on a ultrsound? he said it may be a adenoma. im waiting on a biopsy. whats the likelyhood of cancer?

Accepted Answer

Need a biopsy: However, breast tumors that are quite round without projections are much more likely to be benign fibroadenomas than something nasty. You still need to have the tumor, or a bit of it, sent to the pathologist. I hope that regardless of the diagnosis that you get a good outcome, and if it is benign, that you continue surveillance.

Question 5

i have the result of ultra sound of my right breast..and it shows  features of fibroadenosis of right breast and multiple small well defined isoechoeic masses-fibro adenomas..what is mean of this..is this the sign of breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

Benign: What is described on your ultrasound is a benign finding.  However, it needs to be interpreted within the context of why the ultrasound was ordered--is there a palpable abnormality?...An abnormality seen on a mammogram?...Breast pain?  The ultrasound report should include info which tells the ordering physician what the next step is (routine follow-up, close f/u, biopsy)--please talk to your dr.

Question 6

i have the result of my right breast ultra sound and it shows..features of fibroadenosis of right breast and multiple small well defined isoechoeic masses-fibro adenomas.what its mean; is this the sign of breast cancer? pls i need your concerned..

Accepted Answer

No: Your doctor will surly want to get blopsies or remove the fibroadenomas but they are not cancerous. It is a little unusual to have several and i'd ask your doctor why.

Question 7

i've got a breast tumor.  had a ultrasound. now waiting on biopsy.  he said it probably was a adenoma. i've got one on my pituitary gland also. cancer?

Accepted Answer

Ubknown: I would need much more information. A breast "adenoma" is probably meant to be a benign (non-cancerous) fibroadenoma ; would not be related to a pituitary adenoma. The biopsy will give you the information you need.

Question 8

are tubular breasts a disability?

Accepted Answer

NO : All breasts are different shapes and sizes. Tubular shaped breast is just one the shapes. Some people may admire that shape and if its your breast shape you should try to appreciate or be pleased with them.

Question 9

i was wondering what are some signs that i might have tubular breasts?

Accepted Answer

Mostly Shape: Tubular breasts have a different appearance, typically are not large in outside diameter shape and give appearance of oversized nipple-areolar compared to the outside diameter breast tissue. Narrow base leading to a more 'pointed' appearance is often seen.  See your primary care doctor or breast surgeon for evaluation and diagnosis.

Question 10

what's tubular breast deformity?

Accepted Answer

It is correctable : Tubular or "tuberous" breast deformity is not uncommon.  The breast develops typically with a narrow, constricted base, a high and tight lower breast fold and a large protruding areola.  Correction should address all of these areas typically by releasing the tissues, placing an implant and modifying the nipple and areola with reduction and/or lifting.  Sometimes a staged procedure is indicated.
