Specializes in Breast Surgery

No: Most people have multiple fibroadenomas. This is a common noncancerous mass. These days, a needle biopsy can be performed and the masses left alone. They do not turn into cancer or put you at a higher risk. I recommend you find a breast specialist for evaluation and monitoring.
