Growth on nipple

Hi everyone,

I have had a round lump at the bottom of my nipple for the last three weeks. Got referred to the breast clinic, ultrasound was clear, but surgeon said that it is a tumour of some sort, so has taken a punch biopsy. 

I was told it could be an adenoma (benign tumour), but heard they were quite rare in the nipple region. So wondered if anyone has had anything similar?

I am quite good at being rational, I know the likliness it's anything sinister is low. However, I have had thyroid cancer in the past and maternal history of breast cancer.
