An Overview on Fibroadenosis of the Breast

Abstract

Fibroadenosis of the breast, also referred to as fibrocystic breast changes, is a benign proliferative condition characterized by stromal fibrosis, lobular hyperplasia, and the formation of cysts of varying sizes. It represents one of the most common benign breast disorders among women of reproductive age, often presenting with cyclical mastalgia, palpable nodularity, or incidental imaging findings. Although fibroadenosis is benign and non-cancerous, its overlapping clinical and radiological features with malignant lesions necessitate careful evaluation.
