"There are no clear cut mammographic or sonographic features that distinguish complex from simple fibroadenomas."
"There are numerous reports that the general risk of developing cancer in the breast parenchyma is elevated among women with complex fibroadenomas; these women are 3.1-3.7 times more likely to develop breast cancer than women in the general population (compared with a relative risk of 1.9 times in women with non-complex fibroadenomas). ~50% of these tend to be lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), ~20% infiltrating lobular carcinoma, ~20% ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and the remaining 10% are infiltrating ductal carcinoma."
