Overview
Most patients with fibroadenoma are asymptomatic. If left untreated, patients with fibroadenoma may progress to develop a painless, mobile, and well-circumscribe breast lump. Fibroadenoma is a benign tumor that rarely develops any complications. Fibroadenomas commonly enlarge during pregnancy and involute after the age of menopause. The prognosis is generally excellent, and the 5-year survival rate of patients with fibroadenoma is almost equal to the normal population.[1]
Natural History
- Most patients with fibroadenoma are asymptomatic. If left untreated, patients with fibroadenoma may progress to develop a painless, mobile, and well-circumscribe breast lump.[1]
- The risk of malignant transformation is extremely low, where it has been reported in only 0.0125% of the cases.
- Fibroadenomas commonly enlarge during pregnancy and involute after the age of menopause.
Complications
- Fibroadenoma is a benign tumor that rarely develops any complications.[1]
Prognosis
- The prognosis is generally excellent, and the 5-year survival rate of patients with fibroadenoma is almost equal to the normal population.[1]
- In adolescents, the mass regresses completely between 10 and 40% of the time.[2]
