A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast mass: Fibrocystic breast disease is a benign condition, but can make mammograms difficult to read b/c of the density of the breasts; A phyllodes tumor is a connective tissue tumor, and can become malignant 10% of the time. Best is to have an excisional biopsy of the phyllodes tumor. and inquire of your gyn about low dose oral bcp's, which can reduce fibrocystic breast disease.
