What percentage of fibroadenomas have multiple tumors?

• A. 10-15%
• B. 25-35%
• C. 50-60%
• D. 0-1%

Answer: (A)

Fibroadenomas are benign breast tumors that are typically solitary. A minority of patients have more than one lesion. The frequency of having multiple tumors is about 10–15%. So most cases present as a single lump, while about one in ten to one in six have multiple fibroadenomas. When multiple lesions are present, thorough imaging of the entire breast is important to map all nodules and guide management, but this finding alone does not indicate cancer. Treatment is usually based on symptoms, size, growth, and patient preference, with biopsy or excision considered if there are suspicious features.
