Surgery

A fibroadenoma is a very benign tumor and is usually left untreated. A small tumor will often dissipate within several months, though larger ones may persist for a prolonged period of time. A tumor may be surgically removed, though this is usually only done in situations where it is unusually large or painful. No medications are used for the treatment of fibroadenoma.
