fibroadenoma - (pronounced) (FY-broh-a-deh-NOH-muh) A benign (noncancerous) tumor that most commonly forms in the breast and consists of fibrous (connective) tissue and glandular tissue . A fibroadenoma is usually painless. It often feels like a hard, round lump with a smooth, well-defined rim that moves slightly under the skin of the breast. Fibroadenomas can go away on their own or may need to be removed. After menopause, they often get smaller. Fibroadenomas are the most common type of benign breast tumor. They can occur at any age but are more common in younger women. Most fibroadenomas do not increase the risk of breast cancer
