Fibrocystic breast disease involves what description?

• A. Malignant tumor of the breast
• B. Numerous small sacs of fluid surrounded by dense fibrous tissue in the breast
• C. Cancerous growth on the lining of the uterus
• D. Inflammation of the cervix

Answer: (B)

Fibrocystic breast disease is a benign condition where the breast develops cysts—small sacs filled with fluid—embedded in dense fibrous tissue. This description matches the idea of numerous small sacs of fluid surrounded by dense fibrous tissue in the breast. The condition often causes lumpiness and tenderness that can vary with the menstrual cycle and is typically not cancerous. It is not a malignant tumor of the breast, not inflammation of the cervix, and not a cancerous growth on the lining of the uterus.
