About Breast Nodule
Image-guided treatment for a benign breast nodule such as fibroadenoma is a scar-sparing alternative to open lumpectomy. At Clinic Seven in Hyderabad, options include ultrasound-guided Vacuum-Assisted Excision (VAE) and, in selected cases, percutaneous cryoablation, both performed through a 3-5 millimetre skin nick under local anaesthesia. The fibroadenoma is either fully removed piecemeal through a small rotating probe, or frozen and left to be reabsorbed by the body over months.
Breast shape and cosmetic appearance are preserved, ductal architecture is protected for future breastfeeding, and most women return to daily routine within 24-48 hours. The American Cancer Society and Susan G. Komen confirm that simple fibroadenomas are benign and do not increase breast cancer risk, so treatment is chosen for pain, growth, cosmetic concern or diagnostic uncertainty.
- Tiny 3-5 mm skin access instead of a surgical incision.
- Preserves breast shape, contour and nipple sensation.
- Full histology from the vacuum-excised specimen.
- Suitable for painful, growing or cosmetically concerning fibroadenomas.
Personalized scenarios are presented during consultation. Individual results may vary.
Symptoms of Benign Breast Lumps (Fibroadenoma)
A fibroadenoma is a benign, non-cancerous breast lump. Treatment is chosen when it causes symptoms or concern, not because it is dangerous:
- A firm, smooth, rubbery lump that moves easily
- A lump that is growing on repeat scans
- Pain or tenderness over the lump
- A visible bulge or change in breast shape
- More than one lump in one or both breasts
- Anxiety from a lump that keeps needing follow-up
If these symptoms sound familiar, book an evaluation with Dr. Nagateja Bonala at Clinic Seven, Hyderabad.
- •Lumps with suspicious or malignant features on biopsy
- •Very large fibroadenomas better suited to surgery
- •An uncertain diagnosis that needs full surgical excision
- •Bleeding disorders until corrected
How the Breast Nodule procedure works
Every step is planned and performed under image guidance by an Interventional Radiologist at Clinic Seven, Hyderabad.
- 01
Confirm
Ultrasound and biopsy reports are reviewed to confirm the lump is benign.
- 02
Map
Live ultrasound maps the nodule and the safest access path.
- 03
Treat
A small probe removes or ablates the fibroadenoma while preserving healthy tissue.
- 04
Recover
A small dressing is applied and most patients return home the same day.
Vacuum excision & cryoablation vs open surgery
| Factor | Breast Nodule | Open lumpectomy surgery |
|---|---|---|
| Access | 3–5 mm skin nick | Surgical incision |
| Anaesthesia | Local anaesthesia | General or heavy sedation |
| Breast shape | Preserved | Contour may change |
| Scar | Tiny, fades over time | Visible scar |
| Breastfeeding ducts | Preserved | May be cut |
| Recovery | 24–48 hours | 1–2 weeks |
The right choice depends on your scans, symptoms and goals. Your Interventional Radiologist will talk you through both options at your consultation.

Questions about Breast Nodule
No. Most small, stable fibroadenomas do not need removal and can be followed with ultrasound. Treatment is considered when the lump is painful, growing, cosmetically concerning, or when imaging or biopsy raises uncertainty.
Yes. Ultrasound-guided Vacuum-Assisted Excision uses a 3-5 mm skin access to remove the lump piecemeal through a rotating probe. Cryoablation freezes the lump in place. Both avoid a traditional lumpectomy scar.
Simple fibroadenomas are benign and do not turn into breast cancer, per the American Cancer Society and Susan G. Komen. Complex fibroadenomas or those with atypical cells on biopsy need closer follow-up.
Recurrence at the treated site is uncommon after full vacuum excision. New fibroadenomas can appear elsewhere in the breast in some women, particularly during the teenage and early reproductive years.
Vacuum excision and cryoablation preserve ductal architecture and are not expected to affect future breastfeeding, unlike some open surgical approaches that may cut through ducts.
Most women go home the same day, use a supportive bra for a few days, and return to office or college within 24-48 hours. Heavy gym workouts are usually resumed after 7 days.
Local anaesthesia is used and most women feel only pressure during the procedure. Mild bruising and tenderness for 3-5 days is normal and settles with simple pain medicine.
