Cysts are fluid-filled lumps or bumps that can appear anywhere under the skin, including within the breast. In breast cysts, fluid fills the lobules. Breast cysts are typically located in the upper outer quadrant or the central margins (in the middle, close to the nipple).

Read More »In female breast cancer, lumps are usually found near the armpit. In male breast cancer, lumps are usually found near the nipple. Most lumps in the breast are noncancerous, but it’s still important to seek medical attention if you find one. Finding a breast lump is cause for concern, but it may help to know that most breast lumps aren’t cancerous. In fact, around 80% of breast biopsies are benign and reveal that a person doesn’t have breast cancer. For those who do have breast cancer, the most common location of the primary tumor is the upper outer quadrant of the breast. Of course, breast cancer can start anywhere there’s breast tissue. Read on to learn more about where breast cancer lumps are found and what to do if you find one. Language matters We use “women” and “men” in this article to reflect the terms that have been historically used to gender people. However, your gender identity may not align with how your body may respond to breast cancer. A doctor can better help you understand your individual risk for breast cancer and how to proceed if you develop a breast lump. Where are breast cancer lumps most often located? According to a 2017 study , research has repeatedly shown that the upper outer quadrant of the breast is the most common site of breast cancer occurrence. That would be the part of your breast nearest the armpit. It may help to visualize each breast as a clock with the nipple at the center. Facing your right breast, the upper outer quadrant is in the 9:00 o’clock to 12:00 o’clock position. Facing your left breast, the upper outer quadrant is in the 12:00 o’clock to 3:00 o’clock position. Find more information about breast cancer here. Share on Pinterest Illustration by Wenzdai Figueroa The reason more breast cancer lumps occur in the upper outer quadrant isn’t clear, but the area does have a lot of glandular tissue. A 2019 study analyzed data on women who’d been diagnosed with breast cancer between 2010 and 2013. The researchers found that those with tumors located near the periphery of the breast (including the upper outer quadrant) had better outcomes than those with tumors located near the nipple. More women than men get breast cancer, but everyone has some breast tissue, and anyone can get breast cancer. Men usually only have small amounts of breast tissue in the area under or around the nipple. As a result, breast cancer lumps in men are usually located near the nipple. The upper outer quadrant and the nipple aren’t the only places breast cancer can start, though. Parts of the breast The breasts are made up of connective tissue, glands, ducts, and fat. Breast tissue takes up a large area. It covers the pectoral muscles and extends from the breastbone to the armpit and up to the collarbone. In women, each breast has 15 to 20 lobes , or sections. Lobes are made up of lobules, and the glands that produce milk are located at the ends of lobules. Milk travels from the lobules to the nipple through the ducts. Men have fewer lobules and ducts. All cancers start when cells begin to grow out of control, which can happen in any part of the breast. Most breast cancers begin in the ducts. Cancer that begins in the ducts is also known as invasive ductal carcinoma. Breast cancer can occur just under the skin or deep within the breast near the chest wall, where it’s difficult to feel. Where are breast cysts usually located? Cysts are fluid-filled lumps or bumps that can appear anywhere under the skin, including within the breast. In breast cysts, fluid fills the lobules. Breast cysts are typically located in the upper outer quadrant or the central margins (in the middle, close to the nipple). Breast cysts are usually benign and may not require treatment unless their size or presence bothers you. Simple cysts, which are only filled with fluid, do not increase your risk of developing breast cancer, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS) .
