Fibroadenomas and intraductal papillomas
Benign breast tumors such as fibroadenomas or intraductal papillomas are abnormalgrowths, but they are not cancerous and do not spread outside the breast to other organs.
They are not life threatening.
Still, some benign breast conditions are important because women with these conditions
have a higher risk of developing breast cancer. For more information see the section,
"What are the risk factors for breast cancer?" and our document, Non-cancerous Breast
Conditions.
