New Breast Lump

I am 21 yr old femail who recently found a lump in my right breast about the size of a tic tac. It is round and moves around. I havent had any other noticable signs or symptoms. It almost seems like a swollen gland. Should I have this checked?

Hi,
You seem to have a fibroadenoma. Fibroadenoma is a benign tumour of the breast. It is common among the young females. nothing to worry about. Can have surgical excision if you feel uncomfortable.

Hi,
It could be a lymph node or fibroadenoma. Yes you need to get it checked to be absolutely sure. Have you noticed an increase in the size of the lump? Is there a family history of cancer? Also is there any relation to your menstrual cycle? It could be a cyst too. Get a clinical evaluation done by a physician to clear all doubts. Goodluck.
