While Wikipedia cannot give medical advice, the article on breast development notes that "It is typical for a woman's breasts to be unequal in size, particularly while the breasts are developing." -- MarcoTolo (talk) 00:50, 5 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Symptoms

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I am wondering about:

Signs and symptoms of breast cysts include:

* A smooth, easily movable round or oval breast lump with distinct edges

* Breast pain or tenderness in the area of the lump

* Increased lump size and tenderness just before your period

* Decreased lump size and resolution of other signs and symptoms after your period

* Having one or many simple breast cysts doesn't increase your risk of breast cancer.[6]

The last (fifth) item seems out of place with the other four. It appears to be an independent assertion not belonging in the list. Toddcs (talk) 18:24, 19 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Cyst occurance in males

Latest comment: 9 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

This article contains absolutely no information about breast cyst occurance in males. Cyberbytli (talk) 00:09, 15 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Here's a suggested text addition (to start with at least):

In males, the occurrence of breast cysts may (but need not) be an indication of malignancy. (Chen L, Chantra PK, Larsen LH, Barton P, Rohitopakarn M, Zhu EQ, Bassett LW (2006). "Imaging characteristics of malignant lesions of the male breast". Radiographics (Review). 26 (4): 993–1006. doi:10.1148/rg.264055116. PMID 16844928.)

I have now added a statement along these lines (adding also that it is rare) to the article: link. --Chris Howard (talk) 01:30, 17 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
