There are actually many causes of breast lumps that are not cancer. Lumps in a woman are often caused by fibrocystic changes, fibroadenomas, and cysts. This website describes different causes of lumps and when to call your doctor. I hope you find it helpful: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/ar ticle/003155.htm
