What could be the cause of a breast lump?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I recently underwent surgery for an ovarian teratoma. After the surgery, I noticed a lump on my right breast. An ultrasound examination revealed that the lump was a 2.8cm x 1.2cm mass.
It has been about 10 days since the ultrasound. A few days ago, I felt some mild tingling pain in my right breast, but I didn’t pay much attention to it. Now, when I touch my right breast, I can no longer feel the obvious lump. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, for breast lumps with pain symptoms that can disappear on their own, the first consideration should be inflammation. Tumors, however, cannot disappear on their own. I recommend you go to the hospital for a follow-up examination and have a general surgery doctor or a breast specialist perform a physical examination to determine if there is a lump in the right breast. Additionally, a follow-up ultrasound should be conducted. Wishing you good health!
