I THINK ITS FIBROADENOMA SINCE U R ONLY 21 YEARS....fibroadenoma often presents as a lump,,,it might remain static or it may grow in size...as it is producing symptoms like pain surgery is recommended...there is nothing to worry about this...its a benign condition...ws biopsy done for this?if i could know the biopsy report it would have been helpful...malignancy is nt expected at this age and a malignant lump would grow much faster
