ABSTRACT
Overview of this study, as mentioned the outcome like diagnosis, treatment (pharmacological
and non-pharmacological), and clear images to represent the types of fibroadenoma was a
challenge. The previous study has described diagnosis and treatment, but our study mainly
focuses on the types of diagnosis, pharmacological and non pharmacological treatments of
fibroadenoma. Fibroadenoma a non cancerous breast tumour mostly found in women, but the
frequency of fibroadenoma occurring in men is rare. A solid rubbery mass in nature and may
vary in size and location. Mainly caused due to hormonal changes and gene mutation. The
tumour may be a single or multiple masses present in one breast or both the breasts, strong
family history leads to multiple tumours in the breast and mostly found in upper lateral
quadrant. There are various ways to diagnose fibroadenoma namely: physical examination,
clinical examination, imaging techniques and biopsy which give us the accurate diagnosis of
the tumour. Based on the diagnosis report pharmacologically it can be treated via surgery and
based on the histopathological assessment and nature of the tumour the procedure is decided.
This article provides an overview about fibroadenoma, its types, symptoms, pathogenesis,
diagnosis, treatment and management.
