Hi everyone,

I am wondering if it is normal for lesions to have so many things going on at the same time my report says sclerosing adenosis, fibroadenomatous change, usual ductal hyperplasia, columnar cell change, dilated ducts, and stromal fibrosis. Has any had any of these conditions and were eventually diagnosed with cancer? I am not sure I want to have it removed because of the scarring but not really sure if its all safe to keep the mass in my breast. Please help.

    I think its pretty common. Those things just pretty much mean fibrocystic aging breasts

    Thanks MelissaDallas, I have a strong family history of ovarian and breast cancer on my father’s side, and this is the first time that they have found a lump-so I’m freaking out. I am just glad that biopsy is back and I can go back to sleeping at night :)

    everything you listed is benign, no need to remove. Just be diligent with regular yearly mammos , do self breast exams monthly, be aware of any changes in the look or feel of your breasts.

    This is all very similar to my own core biopsy reports. Which all five specimens were cancer free, but my general doctor says she wants the lump removed via Excisional Biopsy, by a general surgeon and tested. She then said because the pathology report showed, Stromal tissue, mild duct hyperplasia, and adenosis. Should I get a second opinion first, I mean, its surgery, and I heard they remove more breast tissue than you expect. They left a breast marker in so wondered if they could just do mammo and or mri next year, what does anyone think???? my mother just had a lumpectomy last year, was positive cancerous, and my grandmother had a mastectomy many years ago. Any opinions????

    Hi Pebbles, you will need to meet with the general surgeon before the surgery, so that's one opinion.  It might be helpful, if that person feels the need to go ahead with the surgery, to get another opinion from a breast surgeon.  Every surgery causes scar tissue, and scar tissue, itself, can potentially affect breast imaging down the road. With your family history, an MRI sounds like a good idea.
