Pain in breast

My gynocologist found a mass in my left breast during my yearly exam today.  The mass was tender when she was doing the exam.  I am scheduled for a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound; however, I am anxious about it.  Can malignant lumps be painful to the touch?

Not as a rule .... this sounds like either a cyst or Fibroadenoma; both of which are benign. Anything new or different concerning the breasts should always be investigated to some conclusion. You are obviously receiving excellent medical care.   Regards ....
