Overview
There are no recommended therapeutic interventions for the management of [disease name].

OR
[Name of intervention] is the mainstay of treatment for [disease or malignancy].
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
