General Surgeon, Dr. Shinas Hussain's Response

Hello,

A sebaceous cyst is rare in the breast. It could be an abscess or fibroadenoma. Consult a general surgeon and plan for an ultrasound scan. If there is diagnostic confusion, a fine needle biopsy may be required.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
