Your health care provider may use the term fibrocystic change to describe a range of benign breast conditions. Some benign breast conditions can cause discomfort or pain and need treatment. Others don’t need treatment. Many benign breast conditions mimic the signs and symptoms of breast cancer. These conditions will need follow-up tests and sometimes a biopsy for diagnosis.

You or your doctor might be able to feel a lump or see nipple discharge, or your mammogram might pick up something that requires further testing.
