If your doctor: is SURE that it is a galactocele, you can leave it alone. BUT, if there is any question, yes, you probably should have it surgically removed.

A lump: that has been stable for 5 years and is not visible on mammogram and sonogram in someone your age has a very minuscule chance of being malignant. MRI probably not necessary.
