Breast Lumps

There are many different types of benign breast lump. The most common are cysts (sacs of fluid that build up in the breast tissue) and fibroadenomas (solid growths made up of fibrous and glandular tissue). Most breast lumps aren’t cancerous but see your GP if you find a lump in your breast, or have symptoms including a change in the size, shape or feel of your breasts (after you have gone through puberty), dimpling, puckering or redness of your skin, lumpiness or thickening of your breast, a change in the appearance of your nipple, bloodstained discharge from your nipple, swelling or a lump in your armpit..
