Granules in the mammary gland may be normal fat granules or may be caused by breast nodules or calcified foci.
1. Fatty granules: The mammary gland is a fat-rich tissue, and it is possible for fat to collect and form fatty granules. Fatty granules are usually softer in texture and larger in size.
2. Breast nodules: Granularity in the breast may be due to smaller sized breast nodules. Breast nodules are single or multiple, hard in texture, and often have distinct borders. If the breast nodule is small in size, it may feel granular to the touch.
3. Breast calcification: The granularity of the breast may also be due to calcified foci of the breast, which are usually hard in texture. If the foci are scattered and large, they are likely to be benign. If they are clustered, they are more likely to be malignant.
If there are granules in the breast, you can go to the hospital for timely examination to clarify the type of nodule and further management under the guidance of the doctor.
