Breast Cancer Lumps – What You Need to Know

Signs of a Noncancerous Breast Lump

Noncancerous or benign breast lumps may not feel the same as cancerous masses. When being touched, they are typically squishy. You can even feel quite close to the breast’s soft rubber. The border is well-defined as well, which means that you can easily notice where it begins and ends. While cancerous lumps tend to stay fixed, noncancerous ones can be moved easily within your breast. Other typical symptoms of benign breast lumps may include swelling, tenderness, and pain. [6]
