Surgical conditions
About surgical conditions
This section is not here to make a diagnosis. The aim is to explain clearly what symptoms can mean, which tests are used and when you should not wait before seeking help. If you have symptoms, reading does not replace an examination.
Benign breast disease
Most changes found in the breast are benign — an assessment is what shows that a finding is benign.
ReadFibroadenoma
The most common benign breast lesion in younger women.
ReadPhyllodes tumour
An uncommon lesion that resembles a fibroadenoma but behaves differently.
ReadPapilloma
A small benign growth that develops inside a milk duct.
ReadCyst
A fluid-filled cavity in the breast, particularly common between the ages of 35 and 50.
ReadAbscess
A collection of pus in the breast tissue following inflammation.

ReadBenign breast tumours
Fibroadenoma, phyllodes tumour and papilloma: symptoms, and when surgery comes into the picture.
ReadBenign nodules
Nodules that are smooth, well-defined, mobile under the fingers and change with the menstrual cycle are more often benign.
ReadMalignant nodules
Nodules that are hard, irregular, fixed and painless raise more concern.
ReadBreast cancer
One of the most common cancers in women — and one with the widest treatment options when found early.
ReadSoft tissue tumours
Soft or rubbery lumps you can feel under the skin are most often benign soft tissue lesions.
ReadLipoma
A lipoma is a benign lesion arising from fat tissue.
ReadThis section covers the Doctor’s main areas of work. If your complaint is not listed, that does not mean no assessment is needed — you can book an appointment.
These pages do not replace an examination
The same symptom can come from several different conditions, and reading online cannot tell them apart. The information here is meant to prepare you for a consultation — not to diagnose yourself or choose a treatment. In an emergency, call 103.
