Brief Answer:
Benign tumor...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I went through the mammography report attached here. The report identifies a benign tumour - fibroadenoma in the right breast. It's size and details are not mentioned however.

Fibroadenoma is a non serious condition and rarely leads to complications including malignancy. You can either plan for an excision (lumpectomy) or consider monitoring the mass once or twice yearly. The best option can be decided by discussing with her doctors.

As a whole you need not be worried about the condition. The report findings suggest it is absolutely a benign and non serious problem.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
