Diagnosed With Bilateral Breast Lumps. No Malignant Cells. Surgery Advised. Proper Treatment?
Question: This query is for my wife. She is expected to undergo surgery on Saturday. I wanted to have a second opinion on her ailment and whether surgery indeed is the right option.
She has been diagnosed with "Bilateral breast lumps since February 2007".
k/c/o - Bilateral breast fibroadenomas. Negative for malignant cells.
I will try and attach detailed reports. Kindly respond back by Friday as the surgery is scheduled for Saturday morning.

Hi
Thanks for writing in.
I have gone through all the reports of your wife. All the USG are showing well-defined rounded lesions suggestive of fibroadenoma. Considering her age, this is the most probable diagnosis. But some of the lesions have significantly increased in size; one in the right breast is 5 cm now. Though FNAC is suggestive of fibrocystic disease only, because of the size increase, we need a definitive diagnosis.
This can be achieved by lumpectomy (surgery). If the report is benign (non-cancerous), we can just continue following her up.
Overall I feel you are on the right track.
Best wishes.
