Thanks for answering. Her mom was jumping to conclusions. Today, the doctor said that the lump under the toddlers nipple was just a cyst.

Very, Very rare but the chances increase the older you get. Breast cancer in children isn't one of the major cancers children fight now days. If you would like to read on it check out the source.

Anything is possible, but not likely. The youngest I have heard of is age 18. Are you noticing any signs or symptoms in your toddler?

It is possible. Babies have all kinds of cancers. If you are concerned, take the toddler to the doctor.

Anything is possible with cancer. It's highly unlikely with someone so young, but if the child is exposed to polution or other carcinogens cancer is always a possibility. Check with your Dr.

It's very rare, but yes, anyone male or female can develop breast cancer at any age.

yes. it is possible, unlikely, but possible.
if you have any concerns about your toddler, take him/her to a pediatrician. they will be able to let you know whats up. (i'm sure you already knew that though..)

Good question. I don't see why not. If the poor thing is exposed to enough crap in the air and chemicals in foods, or was born predisposed to it.
