What is benign breast disease?
It is estimated that half of all women in the U.S. will seek consultation for a breast disorder in their lifetime. Many of these women are diagnosed with benign breast disease, defined as any non-cancerous breast abnormality. The most common benign breast tumor is fibroadenoma. Fibroadenomas can grow up to 4 cm or larger, the size of a golf ball, and cause pain, anxiety and disfigurement.
