Is breast fibroadenoma serious?

Breast fibroadenoma is generally not a serious condition, as it is a benign lesion. The specific manifestations are as follows: 1. For breast fibroadenomas with a small diameter (e.g., less than one to two centimeters), specific treatment is usually not required. Regular observation and monitoring via color Doppler ultrasound examinations are recommended. 2. If the fibroadenoma is larger than two centimeters in diameter or accompanied by symptoms such as pain or discomfort, timely surgical treatment can be considered, usually performed under local anesthesia. 3. The probability of breast fibroadenoma transforming into fibrosarcoma or breast cancer is low, with a risk of less than 1%. However, potential impacts of breast fibroadenoma, such as interference with lactation or the possibility of malignant transformation, should not be overlooked. Therefore, regular follow-up examinations and surveillance are necessary, and appropriate treatment plans should be formulated based on the individual condition.
