Avatar f tn Maybe, sometime in your past, you had an injury... like a hard blow to the breast. And, it left a knot which, in a mammogram, might look like scar tissue build up. Anyway, that's just my guess.
Avatar n tn Well, 1.5 years ago, I found a pea size lump under my arm. very near my armpit. It turned out to be IDC. Doc said the tumor is in the 'high-end' breast tissue because our breast tissue goes all the way under our arms. He said it's in an unusual place but technically it is still breast cancer. Please check with your doctor to be sure, that way you can sleep well at nights!
Avatar f tn My doctor says I have very think breast tissue and lumpy so it makes it hard for me to do a self breast exam and that I would have to start getting mammograms when I turn 35. Right now I am 29. Do you have any suggestions as to what this tissue may be?
1330312 tn?1275341513 but it is the only option left as tht lump in my breast is still undiagnosed due to biopsy failling and i do think this is my best option left thank you for any comments.
Avatar f tn I am 8 1/2 months pregnant and noticed a small hard lump in my left breast about 2 months ago (underneath my areola towards the very bottom) it almost felt like a bb, firm, immobile, and was smooth shaped. I had my OB look at it/feel it and she said that she didn't find it concerning as their are tons of changes going on with my breasts because I'm pregnant. She ordered me to have a ultrasound of it but I'm unAble to get in for 3 weeks!
Avatar f tn I found a pea like lump in my breast. I have been for a mammogram and a ultra sound scan. These both showed up clear. The doctor felt the lump and said it felt like fatty/normal breast tissue. She did a biopsy and will write to me with the results. What can it be? Nothing shown up on both scans, so I'm confused. There is definately a round hard lump there!
Avatar f tn I had a lump removed from my breast 11 months ago and within a day it felt like the lump was still there. I have been back and forth to the doctors and hospital and they said it was a hematoma and will disolve within a couple of months. This was 8 months ago and the lump is still there and getting more painful. Is this normal?
Avatar n tn In other words, why do they want to biopsy it could they have seen something? Is fatty tissue hard feeling or soft feeling? Is fibrous tissue hard feeling? Couldn't they tell a fibrous mass from a suspicious mass? I had a kidney removed that they swore was cancer and turned out to be angiomylipoma now I have another lesion in my left kidney, point is, they removed my whole kidney for a benigh tumor-I don't want to go through the same thing for my breast.
Avatar f tn I haVE A 1.8CM BREAST TISSUE IN MY RIGHT ARMPIT, WHICH IS CAUSING DISCOMFORT. INCLUDING NERVE PAIN, MY SURGEON TELLS ME IT'S NOT RELATED TO THE DISCOMFORT IN MY ARMPIT. BUT I WAS EXPERIMENTING DISCOMFORT, BEFORE THE NERVE PAIN STARTED, WHICH IN TURN IS CAUDING NUMBNESS, TINGLING, SWELLING, MY PINKI FINGER & THE FINGER NEXT TO IT TO GO NUMB & CURL UNDER, MY ARM IS COLD A LOT OF THE TIME.
Avatar f tn In May 29,2009 i had a breast reduction but now i feel hard things underneath my right breast. I had an untralsound done in April 2011 and they said it was just scar tissue but it's still there how long does it stay there? Im very scared becuz i hate the way it feels.
Avatar f tn I had a lump in my right breast, then I went to a surgeon he felt the lump and drained some fluids from the lump,then told me he was going to remove it that day which was in mar 2010 now its may 2010 and the same lump is back and in the same spot. the only thing the surgeon said was the biopsy did not show cancer. so my question is how could this return again and the same spot. I am 35 years old.
Avatar f tn I did a home breast exam and with my hand above my head found this hard grape sized lump directly above my right nipple. When I lay down it moves to the side of my breast- it's not rock hard but it's harder than the rest of my tissue- no nipple discharge dimpling or pain. I'm ovulating and 2 weeks from my period- I do home exams every 2ish months and this is the first time I noticed it. I had a mamagram 1 year ago that was fully clear. Anyone have any insight?
Avatar n tn I have had 3 surgeries in 10 months and from my experience I have had scar tissue built up in the area where the surgeries were. But, after milk ducts removed in right breast (DCIS) another mass did form & had to be removed behind where the milk ducts were. Then again another MRI showed behind the nipple was another mass which had to be removed (same breast). So take every precaution and talk to your doctor about everything. Do not let anything go by, can't take chances with your Life.
Avatar n tn I am 20 years old and have had an ultrasound about 5 years ago which determined I have a non-cancerous lump in my left breast. I will admit I used to try and pump small bits of milk out of it when I was younger out of curiosity (very rarely), and little to nothing would come out. Maybe the lump is a result of this? Today it feels like I have 2 cysts instead of just one, I'm looking into having another ultrasound when I can finally afford it... What is inside a cyst?
Avatar n tn The most obvious symptom in males would be a palpable or visible lump in the breast tissue. As a rule male breast cancer appears in the later years but anything is possible. If you have noticed a lump (no matter how small) please make an appointment with preferably a Breast Specialist for an exam and possible Mammogram. Regards ...
Avatar n tn i went to my general practitioner this week, and she found it by feeling the area - it is raised in the light, but she said it is hard to feel due to my dense breast tissue. she was pretty sure its a fibroadenoma. she sent me to have an ultrasound done, took some blood (my count is normal) and referred me to a specialist. at the ultrasound, the technician couldnt find it easily. she described only finding a lump of dense tissue, and gave me the screens of the image.
Avatar n tn Dr. Found a lump in the right breast he said that he felt that it had grown a little bit. and wanted to get it out. He also said it was moveable. I am 50 years old. Can there be cancer in the lump is that how it starts and then attaches it self.
Avatar f tn Please see that she does see her Dr. as soon as she is able to determine the nature of this lump. She may also have lumpy breast tissue which is fairly common. Kindest regards ....
Avatar m tn Congratulations on the benign pathology results. As for those breast biopsies... there's a lot of swelling and bruising that takes place. There's also scar tissue formation during the healing process, which can make the site of the incision (or, needle puncture) feel like a hard lump. Maybe, what you're feeling as being a lump is, in fact, scar tissue.
Avatar n tn I noticed a lump in my left breast over 6 months ago. It is above my left areola and is a very odd shape - not round - more oval with irregular borders. There seems to be smaller lumps around it which are more pea sized. The larger lump is hard and bumpy feeling. I have never had a mammogram and no family hx. for breast cancer. I have neglected to go to the doctor(partly out of fear) but now I am having sternal pain on the same side.
