Hi

I have just had my report back from attending the breast clinic on an urgent referal 3 weeks ago now. I under went an ultrasound at the time an had an examination by a Consultant. A mammogram will then be performed at the end of this Month due to me being on my period at the time so my breasts were very painful and tender to touch.

My letter states that the white pimple lump that i have in the centre of my right nipple is a tiny cyst adenoma and appears to be benign on examination and both my axillae were normal. The ultrasound of my nipple and areolar showed no intraductal lesion but a few subcentimetre cysts were noted only.

As i am now waiting on my mammogram this white pimple lump i have now had for exactly 7 weeks and it hasn't gone down. I have looked up what an adenoma of the nipple is and it's coming up as a rare condition when in the nipple and these sometimes can mimic a carcinoma of the breast being cancer. I am now really scared and don't know what to think as depending on my mammogram results when i have one done i am thinking that this will need a biopsy of some sort as i doubt they are going to leave it in me when not 100% sure of what it is.

Are these quite rare? Mine has come up out of no-where and i am concerned that my last mammogram performed in November 2021 when the plate came down very badly on right nipple has now caused this and given me some sort of radiation there, which is why 18 month's on i now have this in my nipple.

I am just so worried and i don't know what the next steps will be and most of all i am terrified if a punch biopsy will be needed and the pain from this in such a sensitive area. Every day feel's like waiting a month and i am worried it may be cancer. :(
