If epitheliosis suggested by FNAC, very painful or hard lump about which the patient is worried and anxious must do excision of the cyst or localized excision of the diseased tissues can be done by surgery. The goals of drug administration are to stop progression, to relieve pain, to reverse changes and to soften breast tissues. The drug of choice must be taken 4-6 months is costly. The 2nd drug of choice has side effects: acne, hirsutism, weight gain and amenorrhoea. Surgery will not be effective as fibroadenosis having recurrence associated with menstruation and due to side effects of drugs; practically none of the treatment is satisfactory.
