If you have a clear diagnosis of a fibroadenoma, you'll have some options for dealing with it.

Watch and wait is one approach. Since fibroadenomas are not always troublesome and sometimes shrink on their own, just keeping an eye on their progress is the least invasive way to handle them.

•        Lumpectomy or surgical removal of a fibroadenoma can be done if you're worried about keeping it in your breast. Depending on the relative size of this lump and your breast, a lumpectomy may cause a change your breast's size or shape. New fibroadenomas may grow in the neighborhood of the first lump, so you should know that surgery is not a guarantee that you'll never have another fibroadenoma. On the other hand, your fibroadenoma can be carefully examined by the pathology lab to make sure the diagnosis was correct and breast cancer can be ruled out.

•        Laser ablation is a non-surgical way to get rid of a fibroadenoma. In your surgeon's office, an ultrasound-guided laser device is used to destroy the fibroadenoma, leaving behind only a tiny scar, no sutures, and no change in breast shape. There's no general anesthesia and no hospital visit.

•        Cryoablation is a fast, efficient way to freeze a fibroadenoma to death. In one office visit, cryoablation simply freezes the lump so that healthy tissue can take over. This procedure takes less than 30 minutes and results in a tiny scar.
