Symptoms

A breast lump is a growth of tissue that develops within your breast. It may be described as a mass, growth, swelling, thickness or fullness.
A breast lump can vary in the way it looks and feels. If you have a breast lump, you may notice:
    A distinct lump with definite borders
    A thickened, slightly more prominent area in your breast that's different from surrounding breast tissue
    Other breast changes, such as redness, dimpling or pitting of the skin
    One breast that's noticeably larger than the other (breast asymmetry)
    Nipple changes, such as a nipple that's pulled inward (nipple inversion) or spontaneous fluid discharge from your nipple
    Breast pain or tenderness
Sometimes, a breast lump is a sign of breast cancer. That's why you should seek prompt medical evaluation. Fortunately, however, most breast lumps result from noncancerous (benign) conditions.

A breast lump can develop as a result of conditions such as:
    Breast cancer
    Breast cysts
    Fibroadenoma
    Fibrocystic breasts
    Hamartoma, a noncancerous tumor in the breast
    Injury or trauma to the breast
    Intraductal papilloma, a noncancerous, wart-like growth in a milk duct
    Lipoma
    Mastitis
    Milk cyst (galactocele)
