A member asked:

Will it affect me in the long run if i dont remove the fibroadenoma in my left breast 3x2cm.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe confusion: Breast fibroadenomas are almost always benign, however they can cause a great deal of confusion when a concomitant breast cancer nodule is located and palpated nearby and the patient assumes that it is the fibroadenoma and fails to seek immediate treatment.
