overlying skin or underlying tissue. The
possible diagnosis is
a) Fibroadenoma
b) Cystasarcoma Phylloides
c) Scirrhous Carcinoma
d) Fibroadenosis
Correct Answer - A
Answer- A. Fibroadenoma
Clinically, they present as firm masses that are easily movable.
(MOUSE IN THE BREAST) They slide easily under the examining
fingers and may be lobulated or smooth.
Mammography is of little help in discriminating between cysts and
fibroadenomas; however, ultrasonography can readily distinguish
between them because each has specific characteristics.
FNA biopsy can also be used to confirm the imaging findings
