Fibrocystic breats (benign lumps).
This is a fairly common disease.
The only downfall is that you have to be careful in doing breast exams, etc. since the fibroids get in the way of finding problem lumps.

Benign
Definition:
The term "benign" refers to a condition, tumor, or growth that is NOT cancerous. This means that it does not spread to other parts of the body or invade and destroy nearby tissue. Benign tumors usually grow slowly.
In general, a benign tumor or condition is not harmful. However, this is not always the case. If a benign tumor is big enough, its size and weight can press on nearby blood vessels, nerves, or organs, or otherwise cause problems.
But it should be checked out just in case.

a swollen milk gland - a wart - an infected hair follicle - a pimple - an imbedded object, a foreign body, a birthmark, a shotgun pellet (you're not dating 50 cent are you?) It could be lots of things. OR - It could be cancer. Go to a doctor to find out for sure.

Some are lumpy because of the connective tissue inside
Some could be cysts
could be infection if red and hot around the lump.
Go to the doctor if you are concerned.

fat deposit called a lipoma, cyst, infect lymph node, an ingrown hair. or a tumor. hope this helps. if your a guy though i would seriously get it checked, because chances of cancer tend to be high in males.

At your age, there are none. Any atypical differences in MATURE breast tissue could be investigated. Teenage breasts are lumpy, sensetive, hormonal and changable. it is all typical in teenage breasts.
