Fibroadenoma of the mammary gland
Fibroadenoma is a benign organ-specific tumor of the mammary gland of glandular origin. A characteristic difference between fibroadenoma and adenoma is the predominance of connective tissue stroma over glandular parenchyma. The causes of fibroadenoma of the mammary gland are not precisely understood. The peak detection rate is at 20-30 years. At the same time, asymptomatic fibroadenoma can be first detected at a much later age during a preventive examination or accidentally during palpation if it is located superficially. read more
