A movable, painless lump in the breast is often a fibroadenoma, which is a non-cancerous growth.
A movable, painless lump in the breast is often referred to as a fibroadenoma. Fibroadenomas are common benign (non-cancerous) breast tumors that are especially prevalent in younger women. They are usually smooth, rubbery, and can be easily moved under the skin.
While fibroadenomas are generally harmless, any new breast lump should be evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out other conditions.
