I have one in my left breast as well. It’s pretty rare – my doctor had never even heard of it before the biopsy results – and I haven’t found any good information online about it. I can’t even remember the full name, but it was described to me as a cyst made of tightly-knit blood vessels. I was told it was not cancerous or otherwise dangerous, but there is a small chance it will keep growing and need to be taken out for the sake of comfort/beauty. Sometimes they are reabsorbed and disappear completely.
I found a website at some point that mentioned it might be affected by birth control pills, although it is hereditary (my mom had one taken out when she was young – they used to take out most cysts back then). I noticed mine when I was 25, and it has varied in size in the three years since then, biggest about the size and shape of a peanut in its shell. It throbs and hurts a little around my period but doesn’t bother me otherwise.
