A member asked:
To have a second opinion about the need of removing a fibroadenoma 5.55.22.4 cm with usual focal hyperplasia ductal in right breast. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure.: It's always OK to get a second opinion, especially when surgery is involved. See a breast surgeon. A breast mass measuring 5cm is quite large, and a biopsy only removes and tests a tiny piece of it. Without removing the whole mass, it's hard to know for sure that it's benign (not cancer).
