"galactophore" refers to breast tisue, most commonly in the nipple area.
"hyperplasia" refers to abnormal tissue growth, or benign tumour.
Put together you are looking at a benign (non-cancerous) tumour in the breast.
These are commonly removed via surgery.
If you are prone to them, you will often get more.
Future growths are more often benign than cancerous but you are at a higher risk of developing cancerous growths in future.
Keep checking, and follow the monitoring regime your Dr advises
