Apocrine Cyst?: You're probably describing an apocrine cyst, which is very common. The vast majority of these are completely benign, but in rare cases are associated with changes that can lead to cancer. If your pathologist mentioned metaplasia or hyperplasia or atypia, you need to talk to your breast surgeon about closer follow up.

Information: Please go online and look for articles that discuss breast biopsy. Only look for articles designed for patients, not doctors. Once you understand things you might want to discuss this again with your doctor(s).
