Up to 1% of breast cancers occur in men, but numbers have been increasing. [19] Men with changes in breast size should undergo as aggressive of a diagnostic workup as women. [21, 22, 26, 27] Age Fibroadenoma, a benign condition, is the most common cause [emedicine.medscape.com]

Conventional fibroadenoma treatment includes close monitoring for changes or growth, or surgical excision to remove breast fibroadenomas. However, a novel, FDA approved treatment called cryoablation offers many women an alternative option. [breastlink.com]

Because no incision is made or scalpel used, laser treatment generally leaves only minimal scars. • Natural shape and feel maintained. There is no “dimpling” with laser treatment because unlike a lumpectomy, the procedure does not remove tissue. [novianhealth.com]

Oil cysts can be diagnosed by fine needle aspiration, which also serves as a treatment. [imaginis.com]

Abstract: Cryoablation is a well established, FDA approved, minimally invasive treatment modality for fibroadenomas. Additionally, several pilot studies have shown its success in the treatment of small breast cancers. [interventionaloncology360.com]

Recently, increased serum concentrations of VEGF (S-VEGF) have been reported in patients with various types of cancer, and high S-VEGF levels have also been associated with unfavorable prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis: Women with fibroadenoma have a slightly higher risk of breast cancer later in life. [chattahoocheesurgical.com]

Can the prognosis change over time? In some cases, it may be unclear whether a tumor is benign or malignant, leading to an uncertain diagnosis that requires ongoing follow-up. [moffitt.org]

It is usually related to pregnancy, lactation, or the use of contraceptives.[7] The etiology is not clear and several infectious, hormonal and autoimmune factors have been implicated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The pathogenesis and the etiology of the disease are still being debated. Smoking has been implicated as an etiologic factor in mammary duct ectasia [35, 36]. This association appears to be more important in young women who smoke [37]. [theoncologist.onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
