Do I need a surgery If I have fibroadenoma?


 
A fibroadenoma is a benign tumour of the breast. It is a localised collection of normal breast tissue. It _is not_ malignant. It _will not_ become malignant if left untreated. If a _definitive diagnosis_ of fibroadenoma has been made, there is no requirement of surgery. However, surgery may be indicated in some situations. Some of these situations are if the diagnosis of fibroadenoma is not definitive, if it is associated with fibrocystic disease, if it is a large tumour, or if the patient wishes surgery for cosmetic reasons. The decision to undergo surgery or not is one that you have to make in consultation with your doctor.
