Breast Lump: Breasts lumps that are benign can include cysts (fluid filled), lipomas (fatty tissue), fibroandemonas (harder/rubbery), hematomas or necrotic breast tissue (both due to trauma), fibrocystic breasts (multiple lumps) ; pseudo lumps such as scar tissue or hardened silicone (previous surgery). A lump can also be cancerous.
