Extremely rare: Would be extremely rare. Most adolescents will have pubertal breast lumps that can form. See your doctor or pediatrician for an examination.

Yes: It is possible but extremely unlikely breast cancer is caused by genetic and environmental factors the chance of developing breast cancer is related to risk factors for example a family history of breast cancer.
