A member asked:
Can a breast myxoid fibroadenoma almost double in size after a core biopsy or the increase is caused by a hematoma surrounding the fa?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Enlarged breast mass: Sudden enlargement of a breast mass following a biopsy is usually due to a hematoma stemming from the biopsy process injuring a blood vessel and causing a hematoma. See the provider who did the biopsy if this persists.
