Benign tumors of the breast.

Most patients who consult their physician for "breast lesions" do not have a malignancy of the breast. The benign lesions of the breast include fibrocystic condition, macrocyst fibroadenomas, and intraductal papillomas. Nipple discharge is a common condition, and the diagnosis and treatment is discussed. Rarer benign tumors such as adenoid tumors, lipomas, neurofibromatosis, benign fibrous histiocytoma, and glandular cell tumors are briefly discussed.
