Overview

Majority of fibroadenomas are managed conservatively. An intervention can take place in certain situations, such as intense pain, anxiety, cosmetic reasons, and more.

Indications

Observation

Most fibroadenomas are managed conservatively with yearly breast examination and ultrasound if necessary. This is related to the fact that about 10 to 40% of fibroadenomas regress spontaneously.^[1]
Reasons to undergo intervention of a fibroadenoma:^[1]

Significant anxiety in a patient (despite knowing that the lesion has a low malignant potential)
Mass is greater than 5 cm in size
Rapidly enlarging size
Intense pain
Distortion of breast parenchyma
Cosmetic issues
Persistent mass with no regression
Hypercellular stroma on ultrasound
High malignant potential
Presence of a high risk genetic mutation or syndrome
Complex fibroadenoma
