Thanks for your question on HCM. No need to worry at all. It is 100% benign condition. It is the most common benign breast mass. It is idiopathic in nature but many believes hormones are responsible for them. And you have undergone histopathology which the gold standard investigation for breast lump, and it is showing benign lesion. Sono need to worry for cancer. Just for your information, fibroadenosis , in some patients tend to recur.
