Brief Answer: You need to get tested Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic. Something hard in your breast at this age that has been there for years suggests something benign like fat necrosis. It will not go away on its own. You may get it tested but it does not seem like an emergency. Testing is needed to confirm the diagnosis. Surgeon would be able to help you with it. You can decide on whether to go for surgery or not after receiving the definitive diagnosis. Hope it helps. Dr Vaishalee
