Dr. Peng Xiaodong
The difference between fibroadenoma and breast cyst lies in their texture and symptoms. Fibroadenomas are generally firmer, presenting as hard lumps in the breast area, mostly oval or round in shape, and usually painless upon palpation. In contrast, breast cysts are softer in texture and tend to be painful when pressed.
