Hi there,
I had a total duct excision on my left breast in Nov 2022.
I have now found a small pea sized lump near my aureole in the same breast. I’m assuming it can’t be a papilloma again as I had the TDE. Is this correct?
I was wondering if this could be scar tissue although I haven’t felt it before and was going to leave it for a couple of weeks to see if anything changes. Is this advisable?
Many thanks for any advice xx

Hi @kelsey74
Sorry that you have found this lump and I know the nurses will be able to reply tomorrow.
You should have open access to your breast care team and if it was me I would give them a call and get them to check it out. You may have to wait a couple of weeks for an appointment, if the lump has disappeared then most you need to do is cancel the appointment. If it’s still there it will be checked.
Take care and I hope it’s nothing to worry about.

Hi kelsey74
Thanks for your post.
Breast changes can happen for many reasons. Most are due to benign conditions including scarring or fat necrosis. It’s important to be sure though and as @naughty_boob says its best to have this checked.
You may not be having follow up after your surgery for an intraductal papilloma so do speak to your GP so they can refer you back to the breast clinic if necessary.
