Dr Femi Olaleye took to Instagram to share photos
from an excisional breast biopsy, the removal of noncancerous tumor,
fibroadenoma. Below is what he wrote:
"When you are
recovering from neck pains but still have to help an anxious young lady remove
her breast lump - which by all account looks like a Fibroadenoma! A
fibroadenoma is a non-cancerous tumor in the breast that is commonly found in
women under the age of 30.
Incidentally fibroadenomas are diagnosed in approximately 10
percent of women in the United States (Mammotome). African-American women are
more likely to develop these tumors.
A fibroadenoma is a very common benign (not cancerous) breast condition. The most common symptom is a lump in the breast which usually moves when you touch it.
Fibroadenomas often develop during puberty so are mostly found in young women, but they can occur in women of any age!"
