Fibroadenoma

An adenoma is the general name for a tumor which develops primarily from glandular tissue (adeno cells).  Adenomas can develop in many body organs, including the thyroid, the colon, and adrenal glands,  (anywhere there are glands). But when it occurs in the breast it is generally called a “fibroadenoma”.  Though benign, there is some concern that over time adenomas could progress and become malignant, so  they are taken quite seriously and followed closely.  

A fibroadenoma is a noncancerous tumor in the breast that’s commonly found in women under the age of  30. The tumor consists of breast tissue and stromal, or connective, tissue. Fibroadenomas can occur in one  or both breasts.  

Some fibroadenomas are so small they can’t be felt. When you’re able to feel one, it’s very distinct from  the surrounding tissue. The edges are clearly defined and the tumors have a detectable shape. They’re  moveable under the skin and typically not tender. These tumors often feel like marbles, but may have a  rubbery feel to them. 

2 types of fibroadenomas 

There are two types of fibroadenomas: simple fibroadenomas and complex fibroadenomas.  

The simple tumors don’t increase breast cancer risk and look the same all over when viewed under a  microscope.  

The complex tumors contain other components such as macrocysts, fluid-filled sacs large enough to feel  and to see without a microscope. They also contain calcifications, or calcium deposits. Complex  fibroadenomas can increase your risk of breast cancer. The American Cancer Society states that women  with complex fibroadenomas have approximately one and a half times greater risk of developing breast  cancer than women with no breast lumps. 

How are fibroadenomas diagnosed? 

A physical examination will be conducted and your breasts will be palpated (examined manually). A  breast ultrasound or mammogram imaging test may also be ordered.
