1. Fibroadenoma

   Fibroadenomas are benign breast tumours characterized by an admixture of stromal and epithelial tissue. Breasts are made of lobules (milk producing glands) and ducts (tubes that carry the milk to the nipple). These are surrounded by glandular, fibrous and fatty tissues. Fibroadenomas develop from the lobules. The glandular tissue and ducts grow over the lobule to form a solid lump. Since both fibroadenomas and breast lumps as a sign of breast cancer can appear similar, it is recommended to perform ultrasound analyses and possibly tissue sampling with subsequent histopathologic analysis in order to make a proper diagnosis. Unlike typical lumps from breast cancer, fibroadenomas are easy to move, with clearly defined edges.Fibroadenomas are sometimes called breast mice or a breast mouse owing to their high mobility in the breast.

1. fibroadenoma

   A fibroadenoma is a noncancerous or benign breast tumor that typically occurs in women under 30 years of age. It feels like a firm, smooth or rubbery lump in the breast with a well-defined shape. They can vary in size, and can increase or decrease in size over time, or even disappear completely. While they don't increase the risk of breast cancer, complex fibroadenomas may slightly elevate the risk.
