Had my "irregular hypoechoic heterogenous 2.4cm breast lump" biopsied and it turned out to be a benign 'sclerosing adenosis'. what causes these?

Coffee and chocolate: In one hand that is great the lump turn out to be benign very common problem in women some claimed could be related to caffeine intake and some advised patient to take combination of vitamin e and Ibuprofen to minimize the symptoms the important part that in these days they perform more additional studies on the specimen to make sure that this kind are not premalignant your surgeon should know.

Sclerosing adenosis: Sclerosing adenosis (SA) is a benign (non-cancerous) condition of the breast in which extra tissue develops within the breast lobules (the small portions of the glands that can produce milk). In women with sclerosing adenosis, multiple small, firm, tender lumps (called nodules); fibrous tissue; and sometimes small cysts (i.e. sacs filled with fluid or semi-solid material) form in the breast

Breast specialist: I recommend you follow up with a breast specialist to review the films and biopsy result. The two don't seem to match up, we call this discordance. It is difficult for you to get a good answer in this forum without us seeing your report and looking at the films. Good luck!
