Management and medical therapy of [[breast lumps]] depends on women's age (age> 40 or age <40) and [[mammography]] results in women aged > 40 years. In women aged > 40 years; no further evaluation is needed in case of clearly [[benign]] mass in [[mammography]]; however, [[ultrasound]] imaging is required for the rest of the findings [[mammography]]. Approach to breast lumps in women >40 years is depended on breast imaging reporting and data systems (BI-RADS) stages. Medical therapy of breast lumps in women< 40 years is depended on [[ultrasound]] results and BI-RADS categories.
There is no specific medical therapy for breast lump. However, there are certain medications that may be used prophylactically to reduce the risk of transformation of breast lump into breast carcinoma.

***Benign results are considered as BI-RADS 2, then clinical follow-up is required.
***Probably benign results considered as BI-RADS 3, Mammographic short interval follow-up is required.
***Suspicious results considered as BI-RADS 4 or 5, then core needle biopsy is required.

**Considered as BI-RADS 2, then clinical follow-up is required.
