Is the painful lump in the breast benign?
Patient: hi iam 33 with a pea size lump in right nipple area of my breast. my mother had massive invassive cardonma breast cancer ...iam having shoot pains through my breast were lump is an goes through an burns down inner arm as if i have musle rubb on...i have a referel for cancer center but its taking for ever to get in....what do you think? Doctor: It can also be fibroadenosis which is benign. But try to expedite your referal to cancer center.If the size keeps fluctuating with your periods If the pain keeps increasing during menstruation its  benign. My only concern is family history which is a red flag.
