Adenosis
Modern MedicalAdenosis is an increase in the amount of glandular tissue in an organ, most often described in the breast. Breast adenosis is a benign, non-cancerous change in which the milk-producing lobules become enlarged. It may cause a lump, tenderness or an area that shows up on a mammogram. A biopsy is sometimes needed to tell it apart from other breast changes.
