A 35-year-old woman with normal menstrual cycles,
whose last child was born 5 years ago, feels a poorly
defined "lmnp" in her right breast. The lump is not painful,
and it does not feel hard. If a right breast biopsy were to
be performed, the most probable finding would be
(A) Fibrocystic changes
(B) Lobular carcinoma
(C) Acute mastitis
(D) Fibroadenoma
(E) No pathologic diagnosis

I think it's B. It is poorly defined, it is not painful (so no fibrocystic disease). Fibroadenoma is present most often <25yrs old female.
Acute mastitis - probably not, because she does not breastfeeding.
