What causes bump outside areola with family history of breast cancer?
Patient: I have a question. I have never got a mammogram before but  I have found a pea sized bump just right outside of my areola but it is not painful to the touch but has gotten just slightly bigger than this morning? and I am just concerned because breast cancer runs in my family.  Any suggestions what this might be? Doctor: Any breast lump should be promptly investigated. A family history of breast cancer puts you at high risk as well.I would suggest that you see your doctor for a clinical breast examination, a mammogram and a fine needle aspiration for cytology (FNAC) of the breast lump.Please discuss it with your doctor.
