  1. Understanding Surgery for Fibroadenoma: A Closer Look at Breast Lump Removal

  2. Breast lump removal, also known as an excisional breast biopsy or lumpectomy, plays a crucial role in addressing potential breast cancers, including non cancerous tumors like breast lump fibroadenomas. A wire localization procedure is conducted before surgery in cases where the lump isn't palpable but is detected through imaging.

  3. During the outpatient surgery, performed under general or local anesthesia to reduce breast pain due to fibroadenoma, a small incision is made on the breast. The surgeon meticulously removes the lump along with surrounding normal breast tissue. The excised tissue undergoes examination to ensure complete removal of cancer cells, and a clear margin indicates the absence of cancer near the edges

  4. Sometimes, lymph nodes in the armpit may be removed to assess cancer spread. Metal clips may be placed inside the breast to mark the removed tissue, aiding in future mammograms and guiding radiation therapy if necessary. The surgeon closes the incision with stitches or staples, occasionally using a drain tube to eliminate excess fluid.

  5. The comprehensive approach involves sending the removed lump to a pathologist for further testing, emphasizing the importance of clear margins for effective treatment. This surgical procedure not only addresses potential cancerous growths but also ensures thorough examination and guidance for postoperative care.

  6. Fibroadenoma treatment without surgery can be done, in most cases, the non-cancerous lump eventually gets smaller and vanishes with time. So consult your doctor to know more about the type of lump formed in your breast and get the appropriate treatment.
