ask: Why would I have an enlarged lymph node in my breast?

I am a 30 y.o. female with no family history of breast cancer. I found a lump in my right breast a short while ago. Over the next few weeks I had 2 sets of mammograms and an ultrasound done. I called my gyn daily to get the results of the tests, and when they finally came in the FNP returned my call. She stated that it was benign, and when I questioned her further she said it was an enlarged lymph node. Not being a pushy person, and I didn't really have any questions prepared for this scenario I let it go and hung up. Now I can't find any info online for why I would have an enlarged lymph node in my breast. From what I'm finding it must not be a common place, because I have yet to find anything.

So, my question is...Is this something that should be further tested? It is still the same size as when I found it about a month and a half ago. The only other symptom I am having is that occasionally my breast will ache slightly. It's usually only for a few seconds and it quits. It occurs maybe 1-2 times a day.

I am so glad I found this site. I have a swollen lymph node in my left breast as well and have been concerned lately because it is painful at times. I was really beginning to get concerned because of the pain and thought maybe it was something more until I read these..I am so glad to see that this is more common and that I am not the only one. I have to go back for another mammogram in 6 months as well. Good luck to everyone here and thanks again for all the info :)

I posted a while ago now about what the dr told me was a swollen lymph gland, after it all just not seeming to add up to that I demanded a biopsy of the lump in my left breast and the conclusion came to what I have is a fibroadenoma with aprocrine metaplasia, which does mean it is benign but its at very risk of becoming cancerous in the future. But my point is, if you are concerned demand a biopsy of the lump concerned as really it is the only way to tell for sure what is wrong and will put your mind at rest!

I am a 54 yrs old and on my mammogram today, they also found a small lump on my left breast. When you press on the area it hurts. It was hard to find on the ultrasound. But they also felt it was a lymph node. I also feel like I have a golf ball under my right arm pit, but they could not find anything. They told me to return in 4 months to look at it again. I truly hope others will post their results so that we can share information and experiences.

I was shown the lump in the ultrasound. It shows up as a small black mass , like an air pocket.

I am only 20 and I have a swollen lyph node in my right armpit as well as two in my right breast. Why would I get these at such a young age? They are pretty painful so I am meeting with my doctor again tomorrow to see what I can do.

I too had a mammogram a couple of weeks and was asked to have a second one the following week because of a small unknown mass in each breast. I had an ultra sound after second mammogram and was told that the masses were suspected lymph nodes, one in each breast, around the same size. I did not see the ultra sound and was ask to return in 6 months for another round of tests to be sure they were lymph nodes.
