A member asked:

Does breast fibroadenoma go away and tend to reappear in the same spot in 5 years? or was it just hidden somehow and not clearly felt in breast exams?

The latter reason: Multiple fibroadenomas, some too small and did not get taken out by surgical excision, reappear as these get more visible with imaging, or become palpable on breast exams, based on studies pertinent to this question. As benign tumors go, they start really small microscopically, then become visible nodules big enough so we could palpate, feel or image them radiographically.
