Patient's question:
My daughter is 8 and a half years old. About a week ago, she noticed a hard lump under her left breast. She said it hurts when pressed. An MRI revealed a low-signal mass under the left nipple, approximately 10.6x6.7mm in size, with irregular shape and uneven internal distribution. The elasticity score was 2. Is it urgent? It's really urgent. Please give some advice. My daughter is 8 and a half years old. About a week ago, she noticed a hard lump under her left breast. She said it hurts when pressed.

According to the situation you described, this should be a case of early development. Generally, girls before the age of eight may experience growth and development and may also develop secondary sexual characteristics, such as pubic hair and changes in external genitalia. Some children may also experience menstruation, all of which are signs of precocious puberty. Once these symptoms appear, a child's growth may be affected. I recommend getting a trace element test done, as well as measuring the bone age, to see how well the child's bone age matches their actual age. If necessary, growth hormone can be used.
