Question

My mom had a 2.68x1.49 cm breast cyst removed from her left side in 2014 the biopsy showed fibrocystic changes with a simple cyst and no malignancy. Now she's noticing a similar lump on her right side. Should she get surgery again or is there another way to handle this?

If a new breast lump appears,it should be evaluated.Surgery isn't always needed if it's benign imaging and biopsy-guided follow-up may help.
