Dr. John Kirk answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Probably stable: Probably stable fibrocystic or fibroglandular changes possible stable cyst. If never examined by a doctor this would be a good idea but very unlikely to be a cancer (though not impossible) at your age. Watch your caffeine intake as possible.
