A member asked:

Is it normal for a breast lump to be noticeable but flat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sometimes: Breast lumps are often just prominent normal breast tissue and these can feel somewhat "flat" to palpation. Any suspicious mass needs to be correlated with a mammogram and ultrasound.
