Fibronomas

I am 23 and in January they found my first lump, and did a biospy.  It is terrifying to know that I have this and know that this doesn't run in my family.  After doing the biospy, the results were that it was that of fibronomas, or the non-cancerous tumor.  What are the chances that I could get more of these tumors again, if it doesn't run in my family?

Dear agt345:  Fibroadenoma is usually a discrete mass that feels different from cancer on examination and looks different from cancer on mammography.  It is a benign tumor that may grow rapidly and will often resolve on their own.  They are most common in women in their 20’s and 30’s but may occur at any age.  Fibroadenomas may recur but are not usually aggressive.  In general, there is no reason to remove a fibroadenoma unless it is bothering the woman.
