A member asked:
I was diagnosed with benign breast tumor and it feels bigger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's possible: The most common benign tumor of the breast is a fibroadenoma. These are estrogen-sensitive and, although benign, can grow. If you feel that it has grown, a simple ultrasound can determine this; if so, we often advise minor surgical excision since it otherwise may continue to grow.
