A member asked:

1cm hypoechoic distortion on breast has been followed for 1 year.there has been no change it it's appearance.7month pregnant now.does cancer not grow?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't worry: A small, stable , cystic lesion in a 25 yo is almost surely not cancer. Pregnant or not, i wouldn't concern myself with this scenario if presented to me. If you really have concerns, after the delivery, you could seek an aspiration of the area for cytology, but i don't believe that's necessary. Good luck.
