A member asked:
I have a fibroadenoma. what is risk and benifits of having it removed? if i leave it and dont remove, what are the chances it might turn cancerous?

Lesion benign: At age 30 mammo should not be performed due to breast sensitivity to RT and density of breast making dx difficult. Question was how lesion was defined at age 30. If truly a fibroadenoma the chance of malignancy infinitesimal since it does have a duct system. Question that as one gets older and mass is in breast, can it be confused with other pathology or can it continue to enlarge.
