From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer
Most breasts, regardless of gender, have imperfect textures. Tissue density varies and changes with age. But when you find a breast lump, it can make your world seem to stop.

Good and Bad Breast Lumps
The good news is: most breast lumps are harmless. Lumps may cause some breast pain, but that is seldom a sign of cancer. Be sure you know which lumps are benign, and which should cause real concern.

Squishy Cysts
Cysts are very common in breast tissue. These smooth lumps have a characteristic texture and may appear on mammograms. While some cysts will deflate on their own, there are treatments available for the larger ones.

Funny-Feeling Fibroadenomas
Fibroadenomas are harder than cysts. This kind of lump may try to slip away while you are doing your breast self-exam. If these become troublesome, there are new, non-invasive techniques to get rid of them!

Scary Pseudolumps
Pseudolumps are another benign lump that can feel like cancer, because it may be very hard. Usually these are made of normal tissue that has changed, or foreign stuff that got old. All the same, have any lump that bothers you checked out. You'll be glad that you took action.
