Fibroadenoma

Symptoms

Fibroadenomas are solid breast lumps that usually are:

  • Round with distinct, smooth borders
  • Easily moved
  • Firm or rubbery
  • Painless

You can have one or many fibroadenomas in one or both breasts.

When to see a doctor

In healthy women, normal breast tissue often feels lumpy. Make an appointment with your doctor if:

  • You detect a new breast lump
  • You notice other changes in your breasts
  • A breast lump you've had checked before has grown or otherwise changed and appears to be separate from the surrounding breast tissue
