Answer by Dr. Harsh Abbott (oncologist) on Thu 04, Feb 2010 04:08am:

Hi, most of the lumps on the breast are benign (not cancerous). A benign lump can be a collection of normal or hyperactive breast gland cells, or it may be a water-filled sac (cyst), fibro adenoma, lipoma, and abscess due to infections like mastitis. I suggest you to do your mammography and consult your physician. Thanks.
