How old is she?: Breast cancer increases in incidence the older a person is. For example, teenagers have a "one in a million" chance of getting breast cancer; the probability increases slightly in your 20's. That said, all breast lumps should be evaluated by a doctor.

It depends: While breast cancer is less frequent in younger women, it can occur. Your daughter should be examined by a physician.

Likely too young: This depends on several factors including family/genetics. While this is a possibility, it is highly unlikely. Benign breast masses are very common in young women. In particularly thin women, normal breast tissue can feel like a mass. Pay close attention and do not ignore and discuss with your primary care physician. Call sooner for a changing or growing mass or one associated with discharge
