Can children really get breast cysts?
Question
I am very concerned because my daughter who has a lump in her breast, directly behind the nipple.
We visited the doctor, who told us that it's an infected cyst, but I am still worried as I don't understand why an eight-year-old girl would develop a cyst in her breast.
She is completely flat-chested and has not shown any signs of puberty yet.
The other reason that this is worrying me is that her (paternal) grandmother died of breast cancer and I know that it runs in families.
When I asked the doctor why she got a cyst so young, he was very vague. He just put her on antibiotics and told me that it should reduce within a week.
But if she were an adult, her lump would be checked out as a matter of course so I am not very happy with this treatment.
Please can you advise me whether I should push for further tests to reassure me that my little girl is healthy?
Answer
Breast lumps generate a lot of anxiety because you hear and read so much about breast cancer these days, but the chance of there being anything serious causing the lump in your daughter's breast is virtually nil.
Obviously your GP has had the benefit of examining your daughter's breas, and I haven't, but you are right in saying that a cyst is an unusual finding in an eight-year-old girl.
Another possible explanation for a 'lump' in a young girl's breast is that it represents the very first stage of pubertal development.
The first sign of puberty in a girl is breast development and this begins with the appearance of a small button of breast tissue behind the nipple (which might feel like a cyst). One breast may start to develop weeks or months before the other.
Only later do the breasts begin to enlarge and change shape.
Although the average age for the onset of puberty in girls is 11, some girls do start as young as eight, so I wonder if your daughter might be such a girl.
If the lump in her breast doesn't disappear with the antibiotics she has been given, you could always discuss the possibility of early puberty changes with your GP.
It's only natural that you should be concerned about your daughter but it's highly, highly unlikely that there is anything serious going on in her breast, so please try not to worry.
Yours sincerely
