Frequently Asked Questions

1
What is fibroadenoma?

This is a benign breast mass with a hard consistency. In most cases, its size is 1-2 cm.

1
What are the types of fibroadenoma?

Classification by size and quantity:

  • Simple — one tumor and up to 5 cm in size, occurs in 70% — 90% of cases.
  • Giant juvenile — from 5 cm and weighing more than 500 g, is rare — in 1-2%.
  • Multicentric — multiple tumors in different quadrants of the breast, 10% — 25% of all fibroadenomas.
  • Complex — the presence of calcifications and cysts larger than 3 mm, occurs in older patients (mean age 47 years).
1
What causes fibroadenoma?

The main reason is the increased sensitivity of cells in the breast to the hormone estrogen. Provoking factors include: taking hormonal drugs and pregnancy.

1
How does fibroadenoma manifest?

This formation does not cause discomfort and pain in most women. Only in adolescents are external changes noticeable. This type is called juvenile and can reach 20 cm — this causes breast asymmetry.

1
Can a benign fibroadenoma become malignant?

Yes, it is possible, but it happens very rarely — in 1 woman out of 3 thousand.

1
How can fibroadenoma be detected?

The following methods are used for diagnosis:

  • palpation,
  • ultrasonography,
  • mammography,
  • MRI,
  • biopsy.
1
How can fibroadenoma be cured?

Treatment methods include:

  • sectoral resection,
  • conservative therapy,
  • radiofrequency therapy,
  • enucleation,
  • laser ablation,
  • cryoablation.
1
Why do people with fibroadenoma go to clinics abroad?

The main advantages of foreign hospitals:

  • the operation is carried out with the maximum preservation of the surrounding tissue — there are no deep scars that spoil the appearance of the breast,
  • surgeons with more than 20-30 years of experience,
  • additionally, all patients are necessarily examined for malignant neoplasms,
  • the postoperative period is painless and without complications.

Overseas clinics are continuously introducing new methods of treatment using innovative equipment. The MedTour platform provides a list of more than 150 foreign clinics. If you find it difficult to make a choice yourself — leave a request and a specialist will help you with a decision.

Diagnosis of fibroadenoma

To establish a diagnosis, the doctor probes the chest and armpits. In older women, formed nodules are more often found on mammographic examinations and are rarely palpated. In young women, lumps in the chest have the following characteristics:

  • well palpable,
  • painless and mobile,
  • hard or rubbery.

After detection of compaction or asymmetry, the patient is referred for additional examinations.

Sonography

With the help of an ultrasound apparatus, the presence of education is confirmed and its type is determined. The doctor applies a cool gel to the chest cavity and scans it with an ultrasound head.

Mammography

This x-ray is done regularly for older women. For young women, this procedure is prescribed after identifying knot on ultrasound.

Magnetic resonance imaging

On MRI, changes in dense glandular tissue are clearly visible. A contrast agent is sometimes injected into a vein for examination. Doctors recommend this method to the following categories of patients:

  • have had breast surgery,
  • silicone implants are present,
  • a history of breast cancer.

Biopsy

To clarify the cytological type of tumor, a puncture biopsy is performed. Using a special apparatus, the doctor removes a piece of cylindrical tissue from the node. A tissue specialist (histologist) then examines the tissue sample under a microscope.

Fibroadenoma treatment

When the tumor grows rapidly and deforms the mammary glands, surgical removal is recommended. The type of surgery depends on the characteristics of the tumor:

  • type,
  • location,
  • size.

It is recommended to remove the formation before pregnancy to prevent the acceleration of tumor growth. This happens due to a change in hormonal balance during the period of bearing a child. In foreign clinics, minimally invasive interventions are often performed. Thanks to such gentle operations, mothers will be able to breastfeed their baby.

Types of surgical treatment:

  • lumpectomy (sectoral resection) — the surrounding affected tissues are excised with the node,
  • radiofrequency therapy — the node is removed with a radiofrequency knife. This surgery is robotic and takes only 20 minutes,
  • enucleation — the node is excised together with its capsule. There is no trauma to the surrounding tissues,
  • laser and cryoablation — the surgeon, using a special device, irradiates or freezes the tumor, then it is destroyed.
