Overview
Breast lumps , or breast palpable masses , are the second most common breast symptoms, after mastalgia . These must be distinguished from the normal nodularity of the breast.[ 1] They can be of cystic or solid nature, which can’t be appropriately distinguished just based on physical examination.[ 2] Usually a breast lump is only palpable after reaching 2 cm of diameter.[ 3]
Breast lumps are more commonly found in premenopausal women, becoming less frequent with age.[ 4]
The most common etiologies are fibroadenomas , cysts and carcinomas . The probability of malignancy on a breast lump increases with age.[ 5]
Factors like the woman’s age and physical characteristics of the mass, palpated by the clinician, may provide clues about its etiology on an initial assessment. However, a definitive diagnosis must be pursued, since all breast lumps warrant thorough evaluation.[ 6]
Every palpable mass , whose benign nature cannot be appropriately determined by ultrasound, will require biopsy for tissue diagnosis. This also applies to lesions that cannot be visualized by mammography . The role of the mammography in this setting is also to look for other coincident lesions that may not be palpated.[ 7]
