A breast lump is a swelling, outgrowth, or protrusion in the breast.
While both women and men have breast tissues, these tissues may respond to changes in hormone levels leading to breast lumps.
A lump in the breast for women under 40 years is basically benign, and they may come and go depending on hormone levels.
There is a large number of breast masses or lumps, as well they differ in how the cells develop and spread according to the lump’s condition.
Breast lumps signal both benign (noncancerous) and malignant (cancerous) tumors of the breast. Here you can find What a Breast Lump Might Be?
