There’s an 18mm nodule on the left breast. It’s painless. What is it?

There is an 18mm nodule in the left breast which is painless and may be breast fibroid or breast cancer. 1. Breast fibroma: It is a common benign breast disease, caused by the abnormal sensitivity of breast fibroblasts to estrogen. It manifests itself as a painless, movable breast lump. It may not recur after surgical removal, and some patients may not need treatment. 2. Breast cancer: a kind of malignant tumor, mostly occurring in middle-aged and old-aged women, with no pain in the early stage, clinically manifested as a hard, non-smooth lump with unclear demarcation from the surrounding tissues, which can be rapidly enlarged in a short period of time, and the skin on the surface of the breast can be changed into an “orange-peel-like” shape, and cancer cells can be seen in the pathology examination by puncture. It is recommended that the patient should consult a doctor in time, and if necessary, choose the pathology examination under the doctor’s guidance to determine what kind of disease it is, and carry out targeted treatment or observation.
