Fibroadenoma意思

Fibroadenoma is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor that is common in women during their reproductive years. It is the most common type of breast tumor in women under the age of 30. Fibroadenomas are made up of glandular and connective tissue and are typically smooth, firm, and rubbery. They are usually movable within the breast and do not attach to the skin or chest wall.

Fibroadenomas are typically diagnosed through a physical examination and confirmed with imaging tests such as mammography or ultrasound. In some cases, a biopsy may be necessary to rule out cancer.

Treatment for fibroadenoma usually involves surgical removal, but observation may be an option for women with small tumors that are not causing symptoms. In some cases, fibroadenomas may shrink or disappear on their own.
