10yr old daughter has lump on left breast

10yr old daughter has lump on left breast

Last night my daughter who just turned 10 said that her chest was hurting and said that there was a lump there. I checked and yes on her left breast it is real hard and right next to it is a lump. I called her doctor to get her in right away but they can't see her til tomorrow. I asked the nurse if this is common to see this in children ans she said in boys they do sometimes see it when they reach puberty. Now i'm really starting to wonder what this could be. Is it possible that it is a cyst or what else could it be ?

Dear Rena: You are doing the correct thing by having this evaluated by your doctor.  Not that it is likely to be a serious problem but as it is causing your daughter discomfort, and you worry. It's difficult to speculate as to what this is without examination and further information.

I would like to know if anyone has ever had a 13 yr old son to have a breast lump? If so is it common and will it go away. I am always blown off by my pediatrician and am hesitating on the visit. Should i go to a specialist and skip the pediatrician?
