Description:

A fibroadenoma is a benign tumor of the breast that typically affects women under thirty years of age. The tumor is made up of breast tissue and stromal or connective tissue. You can have fibroadenomas in one or both breasts. Types: Fibroadenomas come in two primary forms: Simple fibroadenomas are the most prevalent. They are often smaller. Your risk of breast cancer is not increased by these bumps. The biopsied tissue appears uniform under a microscope meaning that all of the cells have the same appearance. Complex fibroadenomas are more common and larger in adults over the age of 35. Your physician may discover some variations in the cells under a microscope (they're not uniform like a basic fibroadenoma). On your mammography your physician can also notice cysts or calcifications. When compared to persons without breast lumps they might marginally raise your risk of breast cancer. Facial fibroadenomas are complex in 15% of cases. Other forms of fibroadenomas include: Giant fibroadenomas are fibroadenomas that grow to be more than 5 centimeters (cm) in size. Juvenile fibroadenoma is a type of fibroadenoma that affects children and teens aged 10 to 18. They are not common.

Cause:

The precise cause of fibroadenomas is uncertain. Estrogen is one hormone that may contribute to the growth and development of the tumors. Additionally there has been evidence linking the use of oral contraceptives prior to the age of 20 to an increased risk of fibroadenomas. These tumors have the potential to enlarge especially during pregnancy. Menopause causes them to shrink often. Additionally fibroadenomas may go away on their own. Some women claim that their breast symptoms have improved when they stay away from stimulant-containing foods and beverages such as chocolate tea coffee and soft drinks.

Symptom:

A firm breast lump that frequently doesn't hurt is called a fibroadenoma. That is: round with smooth definite edges easily moved Firm or rubbery. Fibroadenomas often grow slowly. Approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) is the average size. Over time fibroadenomas can enlarge. A few days before to your menstruation it could be uncomfortable or tender. Touching a large fibroadenoma may cause pain. However this kind of breast bump rarely hurts. One fibroadenoma or many fibroadenomas are possible. Either one or both breasts may experience them. Over time some fibroadenomas reduce. Adolescent fibroadenomas often fade over several months to a few years. After then they vanish. Over time fibroadenomas may also undergo form changes.
