Overview
A breast lump is described as a mass that develops in the breast tissue. They differ widely in sizes and textures, and symptoms like pain or tenderness. They can be large or small and may either feel hard or spongy. Most of the breast masses are discovered incidentally while on a physical examination, or if an imaging study was done for some other diagnosis. Most of the breast masses are benign.
