Introduction
Breast-like nodules refer to lesions within the breast that are highly likely to be benign, such as fibroadenomas, mammary gland hyperplasia, or breast cysts. These conditions represent irreversible pathological changes and typically do not resolve spontaneously once they occur. It is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital, clarify the diagnosis, and undergo treatment under the guidance of a physician.
Category 3 breast nodules generally do not resolve spontaneously. The detailed analysis is as follows:
Category 3 breast nodules refer to lesions with a high likelihood of being benign, such as fibroadenomas, mammary gland hyperplasia, or breast cysts. These conditions represent irreversible pathological changes; once developed, they typically do not regress on their own. Even if the nodule size decreases in some cases, the underlying cellular structure and nature may not have fundamentally changed. If a category 3 breast nodule increases in size, changes in morphology, or develops other suspicious malignant features during follow-up, this may indicate a potential risk of malignant transformation. Patients should consider undergoing further diagnostic evaluation and treatment, such as biopsy to confirm the pathological nature, and surgical excision when necessary.
It is recommended to undergo regular follow-up under the guidance of a qualified physician and to follow medical advice regarding whether additional examinations or treatments are needed.
