General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello! Welcome to HCM.
This looks like a fibroadenoma from history, a benign tumour.
You havent mentioned about its mobility/consistency, fever?
This can also be fobroadenosis.
If you are lactating (unlikely at 25), then it can be galactocele i.e. milk cyst due to obstruction of milk ducts.
Local examination is necessary & in my clinic, I also advise FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology to confirm diagnosis.
Treatment is done accordingly.
Hope this information is useful.
Wish you a good health.
Thanks.
Regards.
