Benign tumour

Have I got breast cancer? Appointments and waiting for test results

Hello

I was diagnosed with a nipple adenoma - rare benign tumour.

I had surgery to remove the entire nipple and am now recovering.

Has anyone experienced anything similar and were you ever diagnosed with cancer later?

Thanks!

Hello, I have the same issue as you. Can I know why do you need to remove it, as my doctor said it is benign and could just monitor? Thank you.

Hello

My nipple kept bleeding and was ulcerated so the surgeon decided to remove it.

Also I had an MRI which showed there was a lesion behind the nipple that had an irregular border which usually suggests malignancy so they needed to take a look.

In the end they found the adenoma and there was some endometriosis in there too!

Good luck with your situation hopefully your adenoma won’t cause you any issues.
