Overview

If benign breast lumps left untreated, those proved to be benign both by clinical examination and cytological diagnosis, do not become malignant and 68% of benign breast lumps resolve by time mostly after 2 years. Benign breast lumps should approved to be benign both clinically and cytologicaly. Because some of breast lumps which thought to be benign ones can turn to be malignant by cytological results. Breast lumps which approved to be benign both clinically and cytologicaly in women under 35 years can resolve over time if do not excised.

Prognosis

The relative risk (RR) of following breast cancer in different types of breast lumps:[5][6][7]

  • Non-proliferative breast lesions have RR 1.2-1.4.
  • Proliferative diseases (PD) have RR 1.7-2.1.
  • Proliferative diseases (PD) with atypia have RR more than 4 for breast cancer.
  • PD and PD with atypia may be considered as early stages of breast cancer.
