Abstract

The combination of stromal and epithelial tissue is a characteristic of benign breast tumors called fibroadenomas. A fibroadenoma can be found at any age in women who have periods. The exact cause of Fibroadenoma is unknown (idiopathic) but can be attributed to the reproductive hormonal oestrogen cycles. Fibroadenomas can occur in one or both breasts. Lobules, glands that produce milk, and ducts, or tubes that transport the milk to the nipple, make up the breasts. Tissues that are fatty, fibrous, and glandular envelop them. From the lobules, fibroadenomas arise. Over the lobule, the glandular tissue and ducts develop to create a firm mass. From a clinical perspective, fibroadenomas are typically round, painless, firm or rubbery, solitary, and smooth around the edges. Your risk of breast cancer is unaffected by common fibroadenomas. However, if you have a phyllodes tumor or a complicated fibroadenoma, your risk may increase somewhat. The prevention of Fibroadenomas is unknown. Fibroadenomas usually don't require treatment. They often go away independently, or the lump can be surgically removed if necessary or suspicious. A 38-year-old female visited the outpatient department with complaints of blood-tinged discharge from the nipple and a lump in the right breast for 4 months, which was insidious in onset and gradually progressive. It was initially small and associated with dull, aching pain but progressively progressed in size. At the time of admission, he had undergone several investigations, which revealed a radio-opaque lesion in the upper outer quadrant of his right breast and hence diagnosed as a case of Fibro-adenoma in the Right Breast. Excision of a lump of the right breast was done under general anaesthesia, and She received intravenous analgesics and antibiotics during her hospital stay as post-operative care.
