A fibroadenoma is a type of lump that can develop in the breast and typically appears in females. Fibroadenomas are very common, but they are benign, which means that they are noncancerous. Other than the lump itself, a person with a fibroadenoma is unlikely to experience any symptoms.
Symptoms
A fibroadenoma is usually felt as a lump in the breast which is smooth to the touch and moves easily under the skin. The lump is painless, but sometimes it may feel tender or even painful, particularly just before a period.
