breast mass (medicine)


breast mass
<oncology, surgery> A breast lump may be benign or cancerous.

Examples of breast lumps include: breast abscess, fat necrosis, fibroadenoma, fibrocystic breast disease and breast cancer. A breast biopsy is the best way to determine the aetiology of a breast lump. Remember, 80 to 85% of all biopsies are benign.
