  Abstract

Breast lumps are a common presenting symptom in general practice. As a GP it is important to know how to manage them. Breast lumps can be a sign of breast cancer but 85% have innocent explanations. However, women presenting with a breast lump often assume that they have breast cancer and this can cause a great deal of anxiety. This article aims to overview the common causes of breast lumps, their assessment and management.
