Lump in breast biopsy
Common Questions and Answers about Lump in breast biopsy
lump
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.
And i am wondering, different findings(both ductal and lobular) in one breast tissue area is unusual? In my biopsy result there is no mention about atypical or usual hyperplasia.Also no details about the size of the lump that is removed.The size of the lump will be mentioned only for malignant one? The cut section area size is 6cmx5cmx1.5cm.(3'o clock position,firm small lump) Why more area is cut for a small lump?
I had a lump in my breast, was seen the same day I found it and it was determined it was a fluid filled cyst that they drained. Turned out to be an infection. However, years later I didn't have a lump but calcium deposits that required a biopsy. Thank goodness, no cancer. But in both cases--- I had a doctor take things seriously and tell me their opinion. So, what does your doctor say?
If there's a hardness or stiffness at the biopsy site, what you feel as a lump might
be scar tissue build up... but, I don't remember my scar tissue hurting after I had
my 2 breast biopsies. Sensitive... yes; but not something that I would describe as
painful. Go ahead and have your doctor check it out.
A hardened lump could be just dead tissue, an enlarged or infected gland, or breast cancer. Only examination by your doctor, with a mammogram and ultrasound will give you an idea of what it is, and a doctor would probably want to do a fine needle biopsy just to be sure whether it is cancer or not. 80% of lumps are benign.
I am a 3yr cancer survivor, bilateral mastectomy, 2 rounds reconstruction. No chemo, no radiation, oral chemo will total 5 years. Side effects difficult but doable.
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!
Hi ellie,
I would also prefer removing this lump,but for the time being, I think that you can wait till you see the doctor in July .The biopsy was clear and the lump is still the same size and that's a good sign.
At your next appointment with your doctor in July,you could mention to him/her that you are worried about this lump and that you prefer to have it removed.
Don't worry for now,the doctor would have suggested to remove it,if he thought that it was necessary to do so.
I will be 22 in 3 weeks and I recently found a lump in my left breast above my nipple, I called my doctor and had an appointment 2 days later, he sent me to have an ultrasound done, it came back and he said my "lump" is 3.8 centimeters an something about " echo" and " float", and that there is no liquid inside my lump, my app was June 26, my doc said to keep eye on it and if it he's bigger to call him for another app before my 6 week breast check up.
breast pain however is quite common and occurs due to various causes. If your biopsy is on an area of calcification then it seems the odds are in your favor for a benign result. Even if this were found to be something other than benign it would be a very early discovery; you mention no lump either by palpation or on film. Regards ....
Get it checked out! I have a lump in my right breast, about the size of a marble. My doctor told me to cut back on caffeine, as it can cause fibrous cysts. I didn't drink much caffeine to begin with, but did what she told me. Nine months later, the lump grew a little bit and was tender. Doctor scheduled a mammogram and biopsy for me and I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I'm only 31!
Even if the lumps don't hurt, get them checked out anyway.
I suggest that you see a Breast Specialist if you haven't already. Certainly not meaning any disrespect to your two Doctors but Breast Disease and /or conditions are not their specialty. Make an appointment with a Breast Specialist / Breast Surgeon, take your films, not just the report, to your appointment and get a second opinion regarding this mass. It certainly would possibly indicate some type of cyst since the size is now smaller since the biopsy.
In September of 2006, I found a lump on my right breast and had an excisional biopsy. They found atypia. In February of 2007, I found another lump which looked suspicious on the ultrasound and had another excisional biopsy. It was benign.
I found another lump this past November and the doctor sent me for an ultrasound which showed nothing at all. I just went back to her this week for my check up and she felt it and couldn't believe how much it changed and she said that it has to come out.
Do you know what your BIRAD score was on your mammogram? I'm so sorry you're having this worry. Please keep in mind that most biopsies come back benign. I was in your shoes in Dec 2007 so I totally understand. Please let us know what your findings are. And please try to relax. Best wishes.
I'm 19 weeks pregnant and found a lump in my breast.. It's about the size of a bb and really hard had husband feel and he says he can feel it move a little but I can't it feels very fixed to one spot! Any other pregnant moms have this! I'm so scared!
I had to have benign lumps removed in both of my breast at 15 and they stayed away until 2006. I felt a lump under my armpit, went to have a mammorgram and they found nothing suspicious where the lump was (in my right armpit) but in my left breast they found something. To make a long story short I had a phylloties (I have NO idea how to spell it but that is how it sounds) lump which was benign taken out in 06. I just found out today that I have a lump in my right breast now.
