Answer Section
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. ANS: A
Breast tissue is normally glandular and may have a rather nodular consistency. The degree of nodularity tends to fluctuate
through the menstrual cycle in premenopausal women. A dominant breast mass is a mass that persists throughout a woman’s
hormonal cycles, is larger and firmer than any other irregularities, and differs from rest of the breast tissue. A fibroadenoma is
a soft discrete breast mass that is moveable, non-tender, and benign. Mastalgia is a condition of pain in the breast. Mastitis is
an infection that causes erythema, swelling, and discharge from the breast.
