Fibroadenomas of the breast, are lumps composed of fibrous and glandular tissue. Because breast cancer can also appear as a lump, doctors may recommend a tissue sample (biopsy) to rule out cancer in older patients. Unlike typical lumps from breast cancer, fibroadenomas are easy to move, with clearly defined edges.
Source: WikipediaWithin all the people who go to their doctor with fibroadenoma, 90% report having lump or mass of breast, 50% report having pain or soreness of breast, and 19% report having bleeding or discharge from nipple.
