    Author: Malherbe F, Nel D, Molabe H, Cairncross L, Roodt L.
    Journal: S Afr Fam Pract (2004); 2022 Sep 23; 64(1):e1-e5. PubMed ID: 36226953.
    Abstract:
    A palpable breast lump is a common presentation of breast disease to a general practitioner. Fortunately, investigation of most of these lumps will lead to a benign diagnosis. It is essential to have a clear and systematic approach when investigating a palpable breast lump to avoid over investigation with the resultant increase in healthcare cost and anxiety. This article will discuss an approach to evaluating and diagnosing a palpable breast lump in the primary care setting.
