Nigerian doctor shares photos from a breast lump removal on Instagram

Dr Femi Olaleye took to Instagram to share photos from an excisional  breast biopsy, the removal of noncancerous tumor, fibroadenoma. Below is  what he wrote:

"When you are recovering from neck pains but still have to help  an anxious young lady remove her breast lump - which by all account  looks like a Fibroadenoma! A fibroadenoma is a non-cancerous tumor in  the breast that is commonly found in women under the age of 30.

Incidentally  fibroadenomas are diagnosed in approximately 10 percent of women in the  United States (Mammotome). African-American women are more likely to  develop these tumors.
A fibroadenoma is a very common benign (not  cancerous) breast condition. The most common symptom is a lump in the  breast which usually moves when you touch it.

Fibroadenomas often develop during puberty so are mostly found in young women, but they can occur in women of any age!"
