Probably: Sounds like you have benign changes in your breast that are consistent with fibrocystic changes. Most pathologists don't use the term disease anymore since fibrocystic changes are benign and very common especially in young people. I see this nearly everyday in my practice. Fibroadenomas are also benign and can been with or without surrounding fibrocystic changes.

Fibroadenomas: are common benign breast nodules. "Fibrocystic" change is a nonspecific term that, pathologically, encompasses a variety of benign histologic breast changes. However, fibroadenoma is not among them, it is a separate specific diagnosis. So, multiple fibroadenomas does not imply fibrocystic changes although they can coexist
