What is fibroadematoid nodules?

Fibroadenomatous nodules, often referred to as fibroadenomas, are benign tumors of the breast composed of glandular and stromal (connective) tissue. They are commonly found in women, particularly in their reproductive years, and often present as painless, movable lumps. While they are non-cancerous and typically do not require treatment, monitoring is recommended to ensure they do not change in size or characteristics. In some cases, surgical removal may be considered if they cause discomfort or anxiety.
