Breast Tumor Removal

Breast tumor removal, also known as lumpectomy or partial mastectomy, is a surgical procedure performed to remove a tumor or abnormal growth from the breast while preserving as much of the breast tissue as possible. It is typically performed for breast cancer treatment when the tumor is small and localized.

During a breast tumor removal procedure, the surgeon makes an incision over the breast, locates the tumor, and carefully removes it along with a surrounding margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete removal. The extent of tissue removal depends on the size and location of the tumor. After the tumor is removed, the breast tissue is usually closed with sutures, and the incision is covered with a sterile dressing.

  2. Changes in the size, shape, or appearance of the breast.
  3. Changes to the skin over the breast, such as dimpling or puckering.
  4. A newly inverted nipple.
  5. Peeling, scaling, crusting, or flaking of the skin around the nipple (areola) or breast.
  6. Redness or pitting of the skin over the breast, resembling the texture of an orange peel.

When to access Medical Care

Seek medical attention promptly if you experience any of the following signs or symptoms of breast cancer:

  1. A new lump or mass in the breast or underarm area.
  2. Changes in the size, shape, or appearance of the breast.
  3. Skin changes on the breast, such as dimpling, puckering, or redness.
  4. Nipple changes, including nipple inversion, discharge, or changes in texture.
