There are a few different kinds:

Simple fibroadenomas :

They look the same all over when you view them under a microscope.

Complex fibroadenomas :

These are bigger and tend to affect older women. They might have cells that grow rapidly.

Juvenile fibroadenomas :

These are the most common type of breast lump found in girls and adolescents between the ages of 10 and 18.

Giant fibroadenomas :

They can grow to larger than 2 inches. They may need to be removed if they press on or replace other breast tissue.

A fibroadenoma is not usually painful or tender to the touch. Most people do not experience any symptoms other than the lump.
