Mcqs in Clinical Radiology: Genitourinary, Obstetrics & Gynaecology And Breast RadiologyThe answer is B. Fibroadenoma


  • Fibroadenomas grow as spherical nodules that are usually sharply circumscribed and freely movable in the surrounding breast substance. 
  • They vary in size from less than 1 cm in diameter to large tumors that can replace most of the breast. 
  • Grossly, the tumors are well-circumscribed, rubbery,grayish white nodules that bulge above the surrounding tissue and often contain slit like spaces. 
  • Fibroadenomas are polyclonal in origin and are probably due to focal hyperplasia of lobular stroma.
