Only way to: know for sure is tissue biopsy. Most likely it is firbroadenoma, but anything is possible. Consult with breast surgeon. You have every reason for concern especially with previous DCIS.

Check with your MD: for follow up and if worried they may do a biopsy or a lumpectomy if indicated by repeat testing.
