No. A benign neoplasm derived from glandular epithelium, in which there is a conspicuous stroma of proliferating fibroblasts and connective tissue elements; commonly occurs in breast tissue. Some people have breasts with a lot of fatty tissue and some have cystic breasts. If you have the type with cysts, the tissue can create a small, hard, round area. Initially they are not harmful or cancerous. That is what benign means.
