Brief Answer:
No malignancy in breast, regular follow up can be done.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
The interpretation of breast biopsy is as follows:
The breast mass shows a benign proliferative disease - implying that there is proliferation or growth of breast tissue but there is no evidence of malignancy.
Your report says that there was a mass in breast which has been removed.
If the entire mass is removed, no further treatment is required.
A regular follow up is required.
Breast self examination is also needed and any new lump in breast should be promptly reported to your doctor.
Rest there is nothing to worry, you can relax since the breast lump / mass is removed.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja Puri
